DALIAN, China -- Fan Bingbing, China's highest-paid actress, has been seen in public for the first time in about four months after Chinese authorities slapped her with a bill of roughly 880 million yuan ($127 million) for tax evasion.

Chinese media reported that the movie star was spotted leaving a Beijing airport on Monday wearing a white cap, black coat and sneakers, her face obscured by sunglasses, as she hurried to a waiting car.
