Millie Bobby Brown, known for her role in Stranger Things, has shared that she can do a remarkable impression of Anna Delvey, the central figure in Netflix’s acclaimed miniseries Inventing Anna. Brown’s journey in acting began with her portrayal of Eleven in Stranger Things, a young girl endowed with psychokinetic abilities who underwent experiments at the Hawkins National Laboratory during her formative years.
Since then, she has showcased her versatility in numerous major projects, such as Godzilla – King of the Monsters and it’s sequel, Godzilla vs Kong, as well as Netflix’s detective film Enola Holmes, where she plays the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. This year, she will also reprise her role in the highly anticipated sequel, Enola Holmes 2.
The British actress presents a stark contrast to Anna Delvey, the real-life character at the heart of Netflix’s acclaimed series Inventing Anna. Delvey, originally Anna Sorokin from Russia, is portrayed by Julia Garner, known for her role in Ozark.
Garner vividly depicts Delvey during her time posing as a German heiress to defraud New York City’s elite, all in pursuit of her dream to establish an art-themed club. Created by Shonda Rhimes, the series premiered on Netflix on February 11, 2022, and features a talented cast including Laverne Cox, Anders Holm, Anthony Edwards, and Anna Chlumsky from Veep.
During her guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Fallon inquired about her recent viewing habits. Upon mentioning that she had been watching Inventing Anna, she showcased her flawless impression of Anna Delvey, which she perfected in her hotel room.
Following that, she performed an impression of her co-star Winona Ryder conversing with her character’s son Will, who is stuck in the Upside Down.
Brown’s excitement for Inventing Anna demonstrates that the captivating allure of the series can influence even those involved in other major Netflix productions.
Despite this television season being filled with con artists and true-crime narratives, such as Hulu’s The Dropout and AppleTV+’s WeCrashed, Inventing Anna has emerged as a standout. In fact, the show has quickly climbed to become the fifth most-watched series on the platform within it’s first month.
Considering that Brown has established a career based on her American accent performances, it’s not surprising that she possesses such a remarkable ability to mimic voices. Still, it is noteworthy that none of her past roles have demanded her to step outside her two recognized accents.
As she advances in her career, we can look forward to the Stranger Things star receiving more roles that encourage her to expand her range and demonstrate her skills even more.
