LOS ANGELES — Whitney Anne Adams remembers bawling on the set of Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" during the filming of a lavish party scene in Gatsby's 1920s New York mansion.
Adams, a costume design assistant at the time, had been working such long hours that she slept in the office some nights. Her team spent months making hundreds of costumes, and it was the first time she saw them all together.
"The music track that we used temporarily for the right tempo was 'Party Rock Anthem,'" she said, referring to a manic electronic dance track by LMFAO. "So here I was, crying to 'Party Rock Anthem,' and that was definitely the moment where I was like, 'This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.'"
