“She was very nice,” Delvey — a.k.a. Anna Sorokin — said of Garner. “She came to see me … and she is a very sweet girl.”

Fox, 32, chimed in to say that she would only rate Garner’s impression of Delvey as a six out of 10, telling her guest, “She did a little too much. Yours is a little more subtle. She really dove into the accent.”
She continued, “I barely even speak German these days. All I speak is English. Back in the day, I would speak French, German, English on a daily basis.”
Delvey was released from prison about a year ago, but landed back in jail under ICE detention. She gained notoriety after posing asa wealthy German heiresswhile living in New York City between 2013 and 2017, during which she shared circles with celebrities and powerful members of New York society.

Delvey’s story is at the center ofInventing Anna, but she said before the show premiered on Netflix last month that shewould not watch it.
“I respect whatever Anna does in terms of whether she wants to watch the show or doesn’t want to watch the show,” the actress said. “That’s her choice and that’s totally fine. She doesn’t have to watch the show.”
“I never made the show in anticipation, thinking that she’s going to watch it. If she did watch it, great. If not, that’s fine, too. I respect whatever she wants to do,” Garner added.
