CATERING TO LIZ--Gossip on Liz Taylor’s eating habits:
Actress and inveterate dieter Leslie Ackerman was thankful Liz stuck to her diet when the two made “Malice in Wonderland,” airing tonight at 9 on CBS.
“It’s not like I worked with some humongous actress who said, ‘Bring on the chocolate souffles,’ ” said Ackerman, who plays daughter Harriet Parsons opposite Taylor’s Louella. “They’d bring us croissants and she’d say, ‘No, bring us fruit.’ It was like a dream shoot that way.”
Ackerman usually had to wait for special low-calorie service on the set--but “when Elizabeth Taylor asks, three seconds go by and there’s a plethora of grapes, apples and tangerines. . . . I think one time she got in the car with me and confessed that she ate a chocolate bar.”
