I feel like one of the questions with these scam stories is always, how much did she believe in it? Did Anna 100 percent know it was a scam, or did she believe it herself? And I never had the anticipation that Anna would watch the show or not, I respect whatever decision she’s going to make. It’s terrible for Anna, but it’s also terrible to the people that it happened to, the whole situation is traumatic as a whole. Netflix What was your reaction to Anna’s Insider article, where she discussed Inventing Anna from prison? It seems like she’s not reacting so much to the show as to her situation, which is pretty terrible. She was digging herself in a hole, and her response was like “Well, I’ve got the shovel and I’m just gonna keep digging!’” But she just couldn’t provide what she said she was going to provide. I think the difference with Anna is that she did have a good idea, and she was funny and charming and fun to hang out with, and I think that’s why people fell for it. I mean, look at politicians, they’re all like that, and you have to be like that in order to get far. There’s a certain type of personality that is like that. ![]() It sounds like the show may touch on the fact that Anna’s crimes are pretty comparable to what dudes on Wall Street get away with constantly, right?įor sure, definitely people on Wall Street-I always try to make it clear that it’s not women against men, it’s just about people. Which is a quality we generally admire in men. I don’t think she sees a difference between being hungry, and being ambitious. It seemed like her perspective was still that she didn’t do anything wrong, that she was just doing everything it took to get to where she should be. I think she just wanted power, and prestige, and success, and she was still thinking like that. But I also still don’t think that she thinks she did anything wrong. Very funny, very likable, and she wanted to talk, as much as she was able to. She’s very funny, when you meet her in real life, and so I knew there had to be that comedic aspect to the show. Because her accent is so consistently inconsistent. I’ve done many accents before, and I knew at the outset this was the hardest accent I’m ever going to do in my career. Then it was introducing the Russian, with some of the rolling “R” sounds. And if you notice, a German accent sounds very choppy, almost like every word has a period at the end of it. First, I had to get a German accent down, before I could start adding other accents. It was a lot of pressure, and I had to kind of break it down into stages. Well, they cast me kind of late, so I only had three weeks. How long did it take you to nail the accent? Over the course of two conversations–one on set in March of 2020, one via Zoom almost two years later–Garner discusses her accent process, the show’s depiction of both real and faux friendships, and her experience of meeting the real Anna.

But then the musicality of it is more American,” Garner continues, warping her own voice into each new intonation as she speaks. “It’s German, but then she grew up in Russia, so you hear a little bit of the Russian inflection alongside the German. She says this not only because Delvey-slash-Sorokin is a complicated character, or because the show’s choppy shooting schedule requires her to give a totally nonlinear performance, but because of that singularly strange, “consistently inconsistent” accent. “This is probably the hardest job I’ve ever done,” Garner admits when she sits down with during a break from filming. It’s a performance within a performance, for one–Delvey (real name: Anna Sorokin) famously conned her way into elite New York City circles by posing as a wealthy German heiress, and Shonda Rhimes’ Netflix series Inventing Anna explores that artifice in depth. Playing fake heiress Anna Delvey is daunting for a lot of reasons. ![]()
