If “fake it till you make it” were a person, she would be fake German heiress Anna Sorokin, a.k.a. Anna Delvey. Netflix’s latest viewer obsession Inventing Anna, created by Shonda Rhimes, tells the “completely true, except for the parts that are totally made up,” story of Anna’s elaborate get-rich-quick schemes. The show is based on Jessica Pressler’s 2018 New York magazine article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People.” It stars Julia Garner (Ozark), Anna Clumsky (My Girl), Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black), Katie Lowes (Scandal), Arian Moaeyd (Succession), and Alexis Floyd (The Bold Type).
