“Inventing Anna” is based on the true story of Sorokin, a socialite who successfully posed as a wealthy German heiress in New York City under the name Anna Delvey.
Before being convicted of fraud and grand larceny, she defrauded friends and large banks out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Julia Garner, the talented actress, portrays the character of Anna Delvey in the series. Shona Rhimes stated that Jessica Pressler’s New York story about Anna inspired her to produce this drama.
