Julia Garner Will Star In The Anna Delvey Series 'Inventing Anna' With An A-List Cast


Based on the real-life scams of alleged con artist Anna Delvey, Shonda Rhimes' Netflix series, Inventing Anna, will star Julia Garner as the title character, the streaming service announced via Twitter on Thursday, Oct. 31. Joining the Emmy-winning Ozark actor in the Inventing Anna cast, per Netflix, is: Anna Chlumsky as Vivian, a reporter "determined to get [Delvey's] story", Laverne Cox as life coach Kacy Duke, Katie Lowes as Delvey worshiper Rachel, and Alexis Floyd as aspiring filmmaker Neff.

An Oct. 31 tweet from the official Shondaland Twitter account described Garner's Delvey character as "a young woman in her mid-20s with a hard to place European accent who takes New York by storm." The post goes on to summarize Delvey as "either a brilliant business woman or a scammer extraordinaire" who leaves behind "an emotional body count." (Collider previously reported on Oct. 21 that Garner was in talks to play Delvey in what will be just one of several upcoming Shondaland Netflix series.)

The Inventing Anna logline published by TV Line further describes "the Instagram-infamous German heiress who stole the hearts of New Yorks social scene and stole their money as well" as awaiting trial in the Netflix limited series. Delvey and Chlumsky's journalist character "form a dark funny love-hate bond" as the latter "fights the clock to answer the biggest question in NYC: who is Anna Delvey?"

The 10-episode Netflix series is inspired by Jessica Pressler's May 2018 New York Magazine article, "How Anna Delvey Tricked New Yorks Party People." The piece chronicles the real-life alleged scams that led Delvey (AKA "Soho Grifter" Anna Sorokin) to be arrested in Oct. 2017 for allegedly "scamming hotels, restaurants, banks and more out of hundreds of thousands of dollars," per The New York Times. A jury convicted Delvey on eight charges, including grand larceny and theft of services in May 2019, with a judge sentencing her to four to 12 years in prison. She was further ordered to pay a $24,000 fine and $199,000 in restitution, and, as a Russian national, she faces deportation upon completion of her prison sentence, also according to the newspaper.

Inventing Anna will reunite Lowes with Rhimes and co-executive producer Betsy Beers, with whom she worked during her seven seasons on ABC's Scandal (in addition to appearances on Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice). Lowes reacted to the news of her casting on Twitter, writing "I. AM. SO. EXCITED!!" In a followup tweet, she also joked, "Now I just gotta figure out how to live tweet a Netflix show." Lowes and her other cast mates were famous for live tweeting during Scandal's Thursday night episodes.

Neither Netflix nor Shondaland has revealed a projected release date for Inventing Anna, but with a stellar cast now officially in place, the show will likely be available to stream not too far in the future.

23 Nerdy Sex Toys From The 2010s You Didn't Know You Needed

Bild
As 2010 closes up shop and 2020 gets ready to make its debut, I think many of us can agree the past decade was, for lack of a better word, intense. As much as politics may have thrown us for a loop in the last three years, overall the decade was one of growth, awareness, progressive movements, and, of course, innovation. And among those innovations came the explosion of sex toys in a culture that finally got the memo that human sexuality isn't just something to be discussed, but celebrated too. Whenever something takes off, as sex toy innovation did in the past decade, you can usually expect that niche items are to follow. I mean, there has to be something for everyone after all. And, as a decade that saw Game of Thrones become a cultural phenomenon and the return of Star Wars , it was also a decade that appealed to our inner nerd I write this as someone who got a Star Wars tattoo three years ago. From an entertainment standpoint, dragons and droids reigned supreme in some w...

The Lit Lover's Guide To Watching 'Dickinson' On AppleTV+

Bild
Dickinson premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of this month, but it's already generating a lot of hype, particularly for those of us who never quite got over our Emily Dickinson "phase." For those looking for supplementary material in this new phase of the famed poet, look no further than this lit lover's guide to watching Dickinson , replete with all the books you need to read to stay abreast of what's going on in the charming new series. For some, the idea of Emily Dickinson being a bratty teenager is just too much to bear, but at least one Dickinson scholar says the show's portrayal is true to the poet she knows. Whether or not the show remains true in its depictions of the various players in Dickinson's life varies from character to character John Mulaney captures the utter weirdness of Henry David Thoreau in his cameo, while Matt Lauria's Benjamin Newton is less than historically accurate, for example. If you're currently enjoying D...
