Georgia's journey in the entertainment industry began in 1922, when she emerged victorious in a beauty contest, earning her a trip to New York City with the aim of securing a role in the theater. Despite her efforts, she faced setbacks and eventually relocated to Hollywood, where she worked as a bit player in a few film productions.
It wasn't until she was hired for the 1925 film "The Salvation Hunters" that Georgia's career began to gain momentum. Her impressive performance in this picture caught the attention of Charlie Chaplin, who subsequently cast her as the dance-hall girl who wins his heart in the iconic film "The Gold Rush" (1925).
Following her successful appearance in "The Gold Rush," Georgia became an overnight sensation and was signed by Paramount Pictures. Her first major film with the studio was the 1926 production of "The Great Gatsby," in which she portrayed the character of Myrtle Wilson.
Although Georgia's early career was marked by success, her subsequent films failed to garner the same level of acclaim, and her last silent film, "The Last Moment," was released in 1928. Due to her inability to adapt to the advent of sound in films, Georgia was one of the first actresses to be released from her contract, effectively ending her career in Hollywood.
