At New York City's International Airport, she set foot on U.S. soil for the first time in more than seven scandal-haunted years. Ingrid's return was as brief (36 hours) as it was triumphant; she had come to pick up the New York Film Critics' "best actress" award for her excellent performance in the title role of Anastasia (TIME...
