Her mother, Tami Gingold, is a therapist who had a successful career as an actress and comedian in Israel. Her father, Thomas Garner, is a painter and an art teacher originally from Shaker Heights, Ohio. Garner is half Jewish through her Jewish mother. Her older sister is artist Anna Garner.
Garner met with Delvey as part of her research to play the con-woman and relied heavily on the accent, designer clothing, a wig and fake teeth, she says. “You don't have to love my character, you can actually hate my character, but you have to want to understand Anna,” she says.

How much does Julia Garner make per episode of Ozark?
Word on the street is that she made about the same amount per episode as her costars, Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, and according to Variety, both stars made a cool $300,000...per episode! So if we want to do that math, we're looking at at least $13.2 million for all four seasons of Ozark.
When Garner went for the role of Ruth, she put on the southern accent because she believed the character would have spoken like this. Prior to winning the part of Ruth, Garner had used a similar accent for the movie Tomato Red, which she'd shot the year before.
Although Garner stopped attending church regularly after moving to Los Angeles, her three children were baptized as members of the United Methodist Church in her hometown of Charleston, West Virginia. In 2015, she and her family began attending weekly Methodist church services in Los Angeles.
This means she is 19 years old when she first encounters the Byrdes and that Ruth wasn't lying when she claimed to be 19 years old during her stripper interview with Bobby Dean in episode 4, "Tonight We Improvise."

Naturally, awards like these typically translate to impressive salaries—but how much has Jason Bateman made per episode of Ozark, exactly? According to Variety, Bateman made around $300,000 per episode on Ozark as of 2017. By comparison, his co-star Laura Linney earned the same $300,000-per-episode salary at the time.
He earned up to $300,000 per episode for “Ozark,” which was roughly $3 million annually. In 2013, Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, purchased a $3 million Beverly Hills property that had been the longtime residence of Ernest Borgnine.
"I'd done a movie [Tomato Red] with a Missouri accent," Garner explained, "so reading about Ruth and knowing that she grew up in a trailer, I just thought, This girl's got a Missouri accent." So, Garner prepared for the audition using only the accent, believing it added another layer to the character.
We hear the f-word 44 times with most instances coming from Ruth. We also hear the s-word five times and the c-word one time. In addition, “d–n,” “b–ch,” “d–k” and “a–” are used on multiple occasions. We hear one use of “h—.” God's name is misused nine times, and Jesus' name is inappropriately used once.
