The Show: Inventing Anna
When It Premieres: February 11 on Netflix
The Transformation: The Ozark Emmy winner wears an auburn wig, black-framed glasses and designer duds to play the high-class status-seeker and fake heiress who swindled her glamorous contacts out of millions in this Shonda Rhimes-created series inspired by a viral New York Magazine article. But it was Garner's accent that really caught people's attention when the first trailer debuted.
When Julia spoke to W magazine in August 2021, she said that she blended together multiple accents, explaining, "Anna's posing as a German heiress, but actually she's Russian, so first I had to learn to speak in English with a proper German accent, and after that learn a slightly Russian accent to add underneath."
To make matters more complicated, Delvey lived in the United States and was around Americans, so Julia said the "musicality of her speech was American."
