We caught up with Julia Garner to discuss her latest role as Anna Delvey in InventingAnna
. Born in Russia as Anna Sorokin, she followed her family to a small German town, where we see her poring over fashion magazines that glorify New York. There, nobody would raise an eyebrow at a new surname, and she could launch her prestigious business by getting powerful people to believe in her as much as she believes in herself.
A fashionista, for one. High-end designer clothing is so important to Delvey that it feels like a character all its own. She notices what you wear and, yes, judges you for it; she even hires a personal stylist for her trial. In one “hilarious” fantasy scene, Garner says, “it’s almost like Anna’s walking on a runway, but she’s walking in court and posing for the photographers… I always wanted to laugh when I was doing a strut like on a catwalk in a courtroom and people are just sitting there.
“I’m not anticipating that everybody is going to agree with Anna when they’re watching the show,” Garner explains. “You don’t have to like Anna. I don’t have to play a character that people have to like. But you have to be open and willing to understand why she did what she did, and to me, if you’re open to seeing and hearing that, it instantly humanizes her.”, as both shows overlapped filming during the COVID-19 pandemic. About the only thing both characters share is their innate intensity.
Then, Garner realizes her starring roles do, in fact, have something else in common: “Maybe Anna would have a little fun bossing around the strippers, though. She might.”
