INVENTING ANNA

David Frankel, who directed and executive produced the first episode, "How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People," has one more episode left to produce. The pilot episode's title was based on a viral article written by journalist, Jessica Pressler.

The short series tells the story of an American journalist (Chlumsky) who is on a mission to arrest famous Instagram celebrity and New York socialite Anna Delvey (Garner) while investigating the German heiress for money laundering.

The actress has portrayed different characters in movies and television, but most striking in the hearts of fans are her roles as a detective in "Blue Bloods" and as a special agent in "NCIS."

EXITING THE SHOW

According to The Hollywood Reporter, while filming season 3 of the police drama almost ten years back, Esposito collapsed due to complications she already had from a Celiac ailment.

Jennifer wrote a book to explain her state and also reach out to those who might be suffering from the medical condition. Subsequently, she quit the show in 2012 as her "character" in "Blue Bloods" took an extended leave of absence.

Four years later, in 2016, Esposito made a T.V. comeback in the CBS series NCIS. She also featured in television programs such as "Mistresses," "The Affair," "Blindspot," and "The Boys."

COMIC DUTIES

The actress has portrayed different characters in movies and television, but most striking in the hearts of fans are her roles as a detective in "Blue Bloods" and as a special agent in "NCIS."

Esposito isn't new to comedy, but she might find this quite different since it's been a long time since she's featured in any comic or satirical role.

Fans can't wait to see the star in the new role as she currently features in the Comedy Central series "Akwafina is Nora."
