Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is New York. I work in the New York
people business. Everyone here is running a game. Everyone here
needs to score. Everyone here is hustling. It's a summer
of back when President elect Donald Trump, Paronos founder Elizabeth Holmes,
and Yes, the Firefest dudes dominated so many headlines that

(00:21):
the media affectionately dubbed the season the Summer of Scamps.
It was perfect timing for year old Annah Delve to
make her mark as one of the most notorious white
color criminals of her generation. I'm Stacy Wilson Hunt, host
of Inventing Anna, the official podcast. On the show, I
get to talk with the real people who inspired the

(00:42):
Shonda land series and the actors who brought them to life.
We shot in the re odd where this all went down.
They were going to have each episode center on a
different character in the Anna Delvie Marvel universe. If you will,
but her from series creator Shanna Rhymes and from Jessica Pressler,
who wrote the New York Magazine story that made Anna

(01:04):
the fake German heiress infamous. The minute you meet Jessica,
you realize that you want to stand in the reporter's
shoes to tell the story. I wrote her a letter,
and she called me a few weeks later and said,
I'm not want to be socialite. From the Writer's Room
to the Courtroom, I uncover the craziest details of how
this story was adapted for television, This whole business with

(01:25):
the clothes, the fact that it held up the trial,
which felt so self destructive. It was so cool but
also so nuts. I remember doing a dramatic reading of
Todd's opening statement for the Writer's Room. We were working
on the show while the trial was going on. We'll
uncover the stories behind the story of Inventing Anna, the

(01:45):
show that leads it to you to decide who the
Kazannah Delby. Everything's true until it's not. In Anna's world.
