I just finished watching Netflix’s mockumentary series Inventing Anna. I didn’t quite binge watch it, but almost. Somehow I missed the true story from which this series was derived, which is as bizarre (and strikingly similar) as the narrative presented on screen. I have been wondering why I found the series so captivating? Was it Anna’s chutzpah? Or that so many people were hoodwinked? Or that our society is so fixated on (real or imagined) wealth and status?
Probably all of the above. In response, I’m doubling down on my #truthful focus, my determination to live a life filled with honesty, transparency, integrity, authenticity. I never want people to question my motives or my genuine interest in connecting with them as fellow travelers through life.
Well, I DID binge watch this series! I was fascinated, too by Anna Delvey’s real life story. Apparently, she has a strong Insta following according to my son. I found her likeable and reprehensible at the same time. It was a good series.
I agree it was a good series! I didn’t find her a particularly sympathetic character. There were MOMENTS that she seemed vulnerable, but most of the time she is portrayed as calculating and manipulative. And, she continues to hustle!
Your post is an intriguing glimpse into a story that I don’t know. You make me want to check it out! I love, too, reading your reflection on how it’s influencing how you want to live your own life.
Thank you, Natasha!
We’re watching now, but I remember reading the true story in New Yorker etc
