Julia Garner Thinks Anna Delvey & Ozark's Ruth Would Be Friends
Julia Garner believes that Anna Delvey, the subject of Inventing Anna, would be best friends with Ruth Langmore from Ozark. Garner is an American actor on the rise who landed her breakthrough role as Ozark's Langmore in 2017 and has played the character since. Recently, she also starred in Inventing Anna in the lead role of Delvey, a real-life scammer who was convicted of swindling over $200,000 from New York societal elites. While these two roles came from very different projects, some similarities do exist between them.
In Ozark, Langmore is a 19-year-old woman who grew up poor in the Ozarks within a family of criminals. She is smart, ambitious, and has the makings of a criminal mastermind who seeks money and power. Meanwhile, Delvey is a 25-year-old woman who poses as a German heiress to scam New York socialites into giving her money. In Inventing Anna, Delvey is very intrigued by fashion and the upper-class lifestyle, and while she isn't quite a mastermind, she strives to be famous at all costs and has a way of getting what she wants.

In an interview with ET Canada, Garner reveals she thinks Delvey and Langmore could hypothetically be best friends. She admits that the two would likely judge each other initially, because they come from such vastly different worlds. However, she thinks the initial dislike would fade away, and they'd eventually connect over their penchant for activating other people. Check out Garner's quote below:
I think Ruth and Anna would judge each other in the beginning because they’re from completely different worlds. They would start out not really liking each other but by the end of it maybe they’d be best friends.
