1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: This is New York. I work in the New York

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: people business. Everyone here is running a game. Everyone here

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: needs to score. Everyone here is hustling. It's a summer

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: of back when President elect Donald Trump, Paronos founder Elizabeth Holmes,

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: and Yes, the Firefest dudes dominated so many headlines that

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: the media affectionately dubbed the season the Summer of Scamps.

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: It was perfect timing for year old Annah Delve to

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: make her mark as one of the most notorious white

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: color criminals of her generation. I'm Stacy Wilson Hunt, host

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: of Inventing Anna, the official podcast. On the show, I

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: get to talk with the real people who inspired the

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: Shonda land series and the actors who brought them to life.

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: We shot in the re odd where this all went down.

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: They were going to have each episode center on a

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: different character in the Anna Delvie Marvel universe. If you will,

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: but her from series creator Shanna Rhymes and from Jessica Pressler,

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: who wrote the New York Magazine story that made Anna

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: the fake German heiress infamous. The minute you meet Jessica,

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: you realize that you want to stand in the reporter's

20
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: shoes to tell the story. I wrote her a letter,

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: and she called me a few weeks later and said,

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm not want to be socialite. From the Writer's Room

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: to the Courtroom, I uncover the craziest details of how

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: this story was adapted for television, This whole business with

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: the clothes, the fact that it held up the trial,

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: which felt so self destructive. It was so cool but

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: also so nuts. I remember doing a dramatic reading of

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: Todd's opening statement for the Writer's Room. We were working

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: on the show while the trial was going on. We'll

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: uncover the stories behind the story of Inventing Anna, the

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: show that leads it to you to decide who the
