Who is the Real-Life Alan Reed from Netflix's Inventing Anna?
Anna Delvey recruits lawyer Alan Reed to assist her as she advances into finance and property development in the series. She wants Reed to assist her in obtaining a $40 million loan in order to create an elite art club.
Despite the fact that Reed first rejects her, he finally connects her with financial institutions to help her acquire finance. When the loans fall through, though, Reed becomes suspicious about Anna's identity.
Alan Reed in the series Inventing Anna is a lawyer who takes a stand for Anna while she works on her art club, the Anna Delvey Foundation (ADF). The character of Alan Reed is based on Andrew Lance aka Andy Lance, a partner at Gibson Dunn, according to the New York Magazine article.
Jessica Pressler's article How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People inspired Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers to write Inventing Anna.
Pressler reveals in the essay that one of Delvey's financial pals introduced her to Joel Cohen, the Wolf of Wall Street. Following that, Cohen connected Delvey with Andy Lance, who assisted her in obtaining financing for her art club.
According to HITC, Anna met with lawyer Andrew Lance in real life in 2016. Before she was affiliated with City National Bank and Fortress Investment Group, she allegedly utilized fake financial documents and claimed that her funds were located elsewhere.
She asked for a $22 million loan for her ADF art project, but there were too many warning flags, according to Fortress, who testified at her trial.
