Garner, star of Ozark and The Assistant, hinted at a meeting with the convicted scammer in prison. Who she is is up to the audience, and the only way to truly judge her is to do exactly what she wants –– by watching an actor play her on television. Julia Garner Opened Up About Playing Anna Delvey In Shonda Rhimes' New Netflix Show. Four years later, Shonda Rhimes’s miniseries is blissfully aware of the fact that her audience is playing right into Delvey’s scheming hand, soaking up every last bit of recognition and acknowledgement she can.ĭelvey is not a hero or a villain, neither a robber baron nor a Robin Hood. Subsequently, Netflix paid Sorokin $320,000 for the rights to her story. Jessica Pressler, the real-life journalist upon whom Vivian Kent is based, wrote a 2018 article in New York Magazine about Anna Sorokin. In almost every portrayal of fraudsters, the filmmakers omit the most critical component of what allowed them to succeed and, ultimately, made them famous: the storytelling.

Sorokin’s case drew widespread attention after a 2018 New York magazine article. She’s been fighting her deportation – and also recently joined a group of plaintiffs suing the agency, alleging they’d requested and been denied Covid booster shots while in custody. In November, the Board of Immigration Appeals granted an emergency stay in her case, according to ICE.
ICE took custody of Sorokin on March 25, 2021. But it wasn’t long before she ended up back behind bars. Sorokin was released from jail in February 2021 after serving nearly four years on theft and larceny charges. She was found guilty of stealing more than $200,000 from banks and friends while scamming her way into New York society, the Manhattan District Attorney said after her 2019 conviction. Sorokin duped victims out of money by pretending to be a German heiress called Anna Delvey with a $60 million trust fund. … But we are dealing with bureaucracy, and there are numerous filings in her case, so you just never know if there was a paperwork error,” Arora said, according to NBC. “Legally, they should not be able to deport her until the 19th.
