Inventing Anna tells the incredible true story of Anna Sorokin — played by Ozark’s Julia Garner — who posed as a rich German heiress and successfully conned friends and big banks out of hundreds of thousands of dollars under the name Anna Delvey, before she was convicted of fraud and grand larceny in 2019. “Most people in Eschweiler are not really fashion conscious and don’t have the same taste for luxury as Anna, which is why she went to London, then Berlin and then Paris,” Sorokin said. “She felt this town wasn’t quite good enough for her.” “She wanted to live like Paris Hilton but we weren’t able to give that to her,” he added. It was there Delvey pitched her idea for the “Anna Delvey Foundation” — a private members’ club and art foundation — to wealthy potential investors.
