"It was [like] trying to preserve something in amber. I was specifically
portraying the 1969 deb season, as during that season there was very
much the feeling that the debutante era was over. The whole Woodstock,
post-Vietnam cultural shift was coming. Also, everyone lost their
money. There were so many stories like that. I remember one family: the
father was a player on Wall Street who lost all his wealth, but he'd
already paid for his daughter's deb party. So they actually went ahead
with the party and then moved to Australia, broke. It really was like
that. All those parties disappeared in the next several years. And yet
they came back, and continue to this day."
