This whole story is completely true. Except for all of the parts that are totally made up. Created by Shondaland, Inventing Anna, starring Emmy Award-Winning actress, Julia Garner, premieres February 11 only on Netflix.

Julia Garner talks about dancing with Jimmy while Justin Bieber was performing at the Met Gala, the inspiration behind her intense acting in Ozark and playing Anna Delvey in Inventing Anna.

In Inventing Anna, Julia Garner plays a con who scammed her way into life among the Manhattan elite. Offscreen, the actress has figured out a way to make it without having to fake it at all.

A funny thing happened at the Albion Correctional Facility. When Julia Garner traveled to the prison outside Buffalo, New York, where Anna Delvey was being held, the actress discovered someone different from what she expected. “She’s actually really sweet,” the 28-year-old Garner says sheepishly of Delvey (née Sorokin), the socialite swindler who Garner plays in the Netflix series Inventing Anna. Garner allows that what Delvey did—bilk banks and friends alike out of hundreds of thousands of dollars—was “really bad,” but that when she met Delvey in prison, “she was extremely charming. She’s very gentle. But then her voice gets less soft-spoken when she wants something.”

What did Delvey want? For one thing, to hear the accent Garner had prepared to play her. “She’s like, ‘Please, let me hear it,’ ” says Garner, who began parroting whatever Delvey said in the ­German-­inflected accent she had honed with her dialect coach. (Delvey was born in Russia, grew up in Germany, learned British English, then mimicked American English by watching shows like Gossip Girl.) “It got very meta.”

Delvey is a millennial Becky Sharp gone bad, a faux heiress who charmed and then scammed the downtown elite while posing as an insouciant Eloise of Soho’s hippest hotels and restaurants. She was made infamous by a May 2018 New York magazine article by Jessica Pressler, which quickly ignited an adaptation arms race, with Shonda Rhimes and Lena Dunham both rushing to produce versions of the viral fable. Rhimes’s will come first, her 10-episode series premiering on Netflix this month. “It’s a classic New York story: the outsider who comes to the city looking to make it,” Pressler says. “Plus, there’s the digital piece of it. Everyone is reinventing themselves online. That tipped it from being a classic grifter story.” Of course, there’s a long tradition of charlatans both fictional (Tom Sawyer, Tom Ripley) and real who have been catnip to the public. Showtime has a new Talented Mr. Ripley in the works, and in March Hulu will air The Dropout, a series based on the Silicon Valley scam perpetuated by Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, proving the fascination is alive and well.

Hello and welcome to Julia Garner Fan, your newest resource dedicated to actress Julia Garner.

My name is Anne and I am so happy to get a fansite on Julia Garner. I am fan of Julia and although, it wasn’t in my plans to open a site, I am going to try my best to make this site great!

One of my best friends wanted to open this site but, she got some personal problems and asked me if I wanted to take care of the site. My answer was YESSSSS, because I really think Julia needs a site for the fans to visit.

I wanted to open the site with more sections and photos added and everything ready but, I though it will be great to post for you the latest photos and updates while I am still building this site. It is taking me a lot of time to organize the old stuff that I got and everything. And, Julia is going to promote her new series so, I am crossing my fingers to get some great updates and news here.

I have a lot of stuff to be added and would like to ask everyone for visiting the site to take a look to the updates and enjoy this site with me. If you have some stuff that want to share with everyone, please, feel free to send me this.

Also, if you have suggestions, comments…feel free to contact me.
