Under contract to David O. Selznick, Georgiana spent three years honing her craft and was screen-tested for the role of Suellen, Scarlet O'Hara's younger sister, in Gone with the Wind (1939).

The couple met through Georgiana's sister Sally Blane and her director/husband Norman Foster, who were working on a Mexican film together. Montalban was immediately smitten with Georgiana after seeing her in her only movie and on a magazine cover.
