What Surprised Julia Garner About Meeting Anna Delvey

Dubbed the "fake heiress" after conning New York's elite, Anna Sorokin – better known by her alias Anna Delvey – made headlines in 2018 for ultimately defrauding friends and businesses out of around $275,000. Julia Garner is starring as her in the new Netflix series "Inventing Anna," and Access Hollywood joined her on set. She shared how she first learned of Anna's story and revealed what surprised her most about meeting her in person. "Inventing Anna" premieres Feb. 11 on Netflix.

She killed this role, even the accent is almost like the real Anna’s accent

[keymaoliver]

She totally nailed this role. I didn’t know the story before but her performance had me googling everyone.

[TrudyPatootie]

Julia NAILED this... She became Anna. Amazing performance. Highly recommend this series.

[Coco]

Julia always delivers a phenomenal performance in every role she’s given. She is so versatile and she definitely needs an Oscar for it.

[katelizabeth]

It is an extreme understatement to even say that Julia literally BECAME Anna!! NOBODY could have played this role even half as well as Julia. She was Anna Delvey!

[Villanlle]

I found myself rooting for Anna everytime, even tho I shouldn't. 😭 Julia's portrayal is just so endearing, so amazing you can't help but be taken in completely.

[bigtip]

I want her to succeed at everything she does because the payoff of watching her performance is always enjoyable. She definitely embodies her characters and crushes the performances!

Julia is *phenomenal*. I'm a Russian with a pure, neutral American accent (Americans think I'm one of them) and I could never tone it down to sound like a Russian who's trying to sound native. Let me just say - Julia's is one of the most accurate portrayals of this I've ever seen on film. I can't believe how talented she is. And don't get me started on Ozark...

[MyFragranceTrail]

Julia Garner is getting double nominated in 2023 award season; for this role and as Ruth in Ozark. She is definitely WINNING an Emmy for this role. She’s beyond brilliant.

This show was great, from start to finish.
I had a love/ hate relationship with Anna's character.
When an actor is able to tug at your emotions like that, they have amazing talent!
Julia deserves more than one award for her role in this show.

I’ve watched some interviews of the real Anna Sorokin and she cracks me up with her blunt and dry humor, as well as the fact that she was just ballsy enough to do all this. I totally understand she is a narcissist/sociopath and a criminal, but if I randomly met her in a club, we’d probably have a good time together.

[seerpou]

julia really gave a superb performance. i was hating her so much😭😭😭 the way she pursed her lips in that snobbish, unimpressed, rude manner was so real

[sendybrendee]

Julia Garner kicked ass in this series. I was astounded to learn she was also filming this most recent season of Ozark at the same time. What an incredible talent she is! Brava!

[Trad]

After watching all of Ozark and Inventing Anna, Julia Garner is the next GOAT, if she wants to be and keeps picking such diverse roles. OMG AMAZING!

[justinemaelim]

She totally nailed this. I can't think of anyone anymore who can play Anna but JULIA!

[patmc]

Julia is a top notch actress! She has the ability to play sweet and tough characters like Ruth in Ozark and as cynical as Anna, and through her acting we can see what is going on inside these characters, Julia is EXTRAORDINARY, I love watching her performances!

[susancorgi]

Who else but Julia for this role? noone is more perfect. I can't wait to watch this.

[rocky]

She’s excellent in everything she does 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[TheKrazysexykool]

Julia Garner's performance is excellent.

I am having difficulty with understanding why people liked Anna, why they thought she was a good person and why they found her trustworthy. She reminds me of the fictional Bella Swan from the "Twilight" series. I didn't understand why everyone, especially the Cullens, rallied around Bella. She was obsessed with Edward, period. She wasn't particularly nice. But I digress.. It's evident that Anna is a sociopath. All of her friends' insistence that she is a good person and really rich is unfathomable.

[strawberrykun]

Her performance was truly incredible. I think that she resembled Anna the most with the prison get up.
