Erica Albright, the character in the movie "The Social Network," is a fictional character and not based on a real person. Portrayed as Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend who breaks up with him early in the film, Erica Albright's role serves as a catalyst for Zuckerberg's drive to create Facebook [1].
Mark Zuckerberg himself has clarified that Erica Albright is purely a fictional creation in the context of the movie. During a speech at Stanford University, Zuckerberg refuted the notion that Facebook was founded to impress women or gain entry into prestigious circles, emphasizing that his primary motivation was his passion for innovation and creation [2].
