Sorokin was sentenced to 12 years in prison at 28 years old, was released in 2021, and then taken in by the U.S. After exhausting the good faith of her friends, connections, and financial backers, and just a few too many fraudulent money wire transfer receipts, Sorokin escaped to Los Angeles and was subsequently arrested outside a notable local rehabilitation center. The culmination and the ultimate goal of her clandestine but skillful efforts are the Anna Delvey Foundation (ADF), which was to be, in her own words to Jessica Pressler, of New York Magazine, a “dynamic visual-arts center”, among other aspiring pursuits. Sorokin presents herself as a wealthy German heiress who lives in the lap of luxury and generously but frivolously spends money on friends, acquaintances, and even hotel staff she tips with hundred-dollar bills. The characters Val Baron ( James Cusati-Moyer) and Nora Radford ( Kate Burton) are an amalgam of these connections she makes. Beginning as a Purple Magazine intern in Paris, Sorokin eventually transferred to the magazine’s New York headquarters and befriended high-profile New Yorkers, including fashion designers and socialites. Born in Russia in 1991 and then moving to Germany as a child, the miniseries tracks the rise and fall of Sorokin in the ranks of New York social circles from her early to mid-twenties. Netflix veteran Julia Garner ( Ozark, Dirty John) stars as the title character, Anna Delvey (Sorokin). Images via IMDb and Marie Claire Australia
