Julia GarnerrespectsAnna Sorokin’s decision not to seeInventing Anna.
“I respect whatever Anna does in terms of whether she wants to watch the show or doesn’t want to watch the show,” said Garner, who plays Sorokin inInventing Anna. “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,” Garner continued. “If not, that’s fine, too. I respect whatever she wants to do.”

She added, “Nearly four years in the making and hours of phone conversations and visits later, the show is based on my story and told from a journalist’s perspective. And while I’m curious to see how they interpreted all the research and materials provided, I can’t help but feel like an afterthought, the somber irony of being confined to a cell at yet another horrid correctional facility lost between the lines, the history repeating itself.”
After being cast as the swindler in the 9-episode, true-crime series, Garner visited Sorokin at the Albion Correctional Facility in upstate New York, in an effort to better understand the person she was going to play.

“Anna’s a dreamer, as corny as that sounds,” Garner adds. “She wanted something bigger and better, and she came to New York because she was dreaming of something. And maybe she didn’t go about it the right way, but at the moment, she thought that was the right way.”
