I had a hard time feeling sorry for those Anna rooked. This isn’t out of the ordinary, as victims of cons are often seen as volunteers.
You see, Anna’s still a media sensation.Īfter reading Pressler’s article, Williams’ account, and as the cherry on top, watching the Netflix depiction, I had concluded that there was enough blame to go around. She appears exasperated, even though Anna spent almost four years in prison and made restitution to those she was convicted of defrauding, then upon release was again put behind bars thanks to ICE and is awaiting a verdict on deportation back to Germany. What Williams does seem to have is resentment, evinced by her article for Graydon Carter’s online subscription publication Airmail. In “My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress” the author asserts that “Regret is an unproductive emotion,” and she has none.
(American Express eventually forgave the charges and Williams capitalized on what she considered her friends betrayal by writing a book.)
The show dropped on February 11, and I binged, mesmerized by Garner’s performance.Įven though the story is ripped from the headlines, it’s not a documentary, but a very absorbing and creative version based on the New York magazine story penned by Jessica Pressler.įor viewers to know this 411 is important, particularly to one person: Rachel DeLoache Williams, the Vanity Fair photo editor whom Delvey/Sorokin stuck with a $62,000 dollar hotel bill for which a jury found Anna not guilty of theft, so funds could not be recouped.

I refer not to Anna Delvey aka Sorokin, the faux heiress who got over on NYC’s upper crust and financial institutions, but to the award-winning actress, Julia Garner of Ozark fame, who portrays her on the nine-episode Shonda Rhimes/Netflix series “Inventing Anna.”
