Wondering whether Neff Davis from Inventing Anna is a real person or not

Inventing Anna: Neff Davis Feels Too Good to Be True, Is She Actually a Reality or a Product of Fiction?

Netflix’s Inventing Anna has found itself at the center of attraction, for good
reasons as well as bad. While the series has received great appreciation for
actors and storytelling, accuracy is not something that it can take pride in.
The skepticism around the show is so much so that people are even questioning
the authenticity of a character. One such doubt arises for Neff Davis, a
character appearing in Inventing Anna as Anna’s friend.

Following the latest criticism from various sources, Inventing Anna has made
people question its reliability. And there is no harm in that, as a show
primarily created for entertainment, should never be asked to be historically or
factually accurate. However, those who are questioning whether Neff Davis is
real or not will be glad to know that she, in fact, is based on a real person.


NEFF DAVIS FROM INVENTING ANNA IS BASED ON A REAL PERSON

We met Neff Davis in the very first episode of the Netflix series, where she was
trying to set up a meeting with Anna inside the jail. She tries to arrange some
way for her and her friends to meet the swindler, but alas, she fails. The
character of Neff is based upon the real Neffatari Davis, who once upon a time
worked as a concierge at 11 Howard Street, where Anna lived for over a month.
She was an aspiring filmmaker as well.

Davis soon became a close friend of Anna’s and thus made her way into a show
about her as well. She was indeed one of the closest people to the Russian and
even got her the dress she wore to the courtroom. Alexis Floyd plays the role of
Neff Davis in the Netflix Original

ALEXIS FLOYD ON HER ROLE IN INVENTING ANNA

While talking to Newsweek
[https://www.newsweek.com/inventing-anna-neff-davis-real-person-alexis-floyd-anna-delvey-anna-sorokin-1679296],
Alexis Floyd described the real Neff as someone who is true to Anna. She said,
“Even as things start to unravel, in terms of, you know, the validity of her
financial circumstances, Neff stays tried and true to her, her loyalty is
unshakable and I think she really holds on to the fact that she got to know this
woman in a very special unique way. Their friendship is actually very vulnerable
and truthful and Neff really holds fast to that to that. So even as the world
around them starts to change, I think the friendship between Neff and Anna stays
solid in this really trustful, beautiful way.”

She was also in touch with the real Neff throughout the filming process. The
actress found Neffatari to be open to sharing her time and story. “I was really
fascinated by how well she knows herself, so I wanted to get to know her as much
as possible because she just seems like she has this really beautiful kind of
graceful self-confidence that I think is so unique and almost regal and I wanted
to celebrate that as much as possible,” added Floyd.

Inventing Anna is now streaming on Netflix
