One Girl Unafraid in Filmland—Now

Inger in a publicity portrait for The New Interns

As Inger simultaneously filmed the television series The Farmer's Daughter and the film The New Interns, the film's producer remarked, "She's not only the first one on the set—she's the most professional."

Inger reflected on the change in her approach to Hollywood and how it had changed since she first entered the business in the 1950s. She said, "Hollywood doesn't frighten me anymore. I better understand the people and the business, and I no longer take either very seriously."

Although she once lamented being typecast as fragile women in television, Inger embraced the role of Nancy, a traumatized social worker in The New Interns, stating, "I guess I was signed for this because I've acquired a reputation for playing troubled characters. If I played them with any degree of conviction, it's due to the fact that I've had a problem or two during my own lifetime."
