Actress Julia Garner has a habit of doing many things concurrently. Apart from sitting for magazine covers and apartment hunting, the 27-year-old has just wrapped filming for two Netflix series: The fourth and final season of Ozark and the highly anticipated Shonda Rhimes produced Inventing Anna. In the former, set for release on the 21st of this month, Garner reprises her twice Emmy-winning role as the hot-headed riot Ruth Langmore. (She won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2019 and 2020.) In the latter, a true story based on the viral New York Magazine article that is slated to premier on 11 February, she plays Anna Sorokin, the 31-year-old Russian who posed as German heiress Anna Delvey and left a trail of swindled hotels, banks and Manhattan’s wealthy elite in her wake between the years of 2013 and 2017.
To say Garner lends a magnetism to intense, unconventional roles is an understatement. But is it intentional? “I look at scripts and I’m like, this isn’t complex enough. When it’s complex, there’s more stuff to do!” she explains over the phone from New York City. (Our hour-long conversation is intermittently interrupted by the snoring of Biz, the English bulldog she owns with her musician husband Mark Foster, of Foster the People; Garner apologises on Biz’s behalf.)
