Netflix presents "Inventing Anna"
Inventing Anna chronicles writer Jessica Pressler’s investigation into Anna Delvey; The mini-series pieces together how Delvey managed to defraud some of the biggest banks in New York City and maneuver her way into metropolitan high society, we’re taken on that journey with her: and one of the key characters we meet is Cox’s Kacy Duke.
Four-time Emmy nominee Cox plays real-life Kacy Duke, who briefly became friends with Delvey after falling for the fake German heiress’ front.
Laverne Cox as Kacy Duke
“What’s beautiful for me about Kacy, having met her, I am deeply inspired by her,” Cox shared with SheKnows.com. Duke is a renowned trainer in New York City, who’s worked with a long list of famous clientele and developed a holistic approach to health and fitness.
Part of Duke’s philosophy, and an essential part of Cox’s performance, is reiterating positive mantras. That brand of positivity guided Cox through her performance and understanding the psychology behind Kacy’s elite athleticism. And just as Duke takes a comprehensive approach to fitness, Cox’s performance went beyond the gym and got into the heart, mind, and even bedroom of her character.
“She is this vibrant, healthy, fit, sexually vibrant woman in her 60s,” Cox said.
Laverne Cox describes "being a Kacy Duke Client"
I think the thing about Kacy is that, once you become a client of hers, she takes a deep interest in your personal improvement, not only in terms of fitness, but in terms of your life. She believes you have to love the body you have to get the body you want. She had that theory of mindset, motivation, movement, that it all starts with your mindset.
