Scott appeared in a Harper's photographic spread, which was allegedly admired by film agent Charles Feldman of Famous Artists Corporation.
In a telegram to Scott, he asked her to take a screen test.
He invited her to come to Los Angeles and stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Her first screen test was at Universal, then at William Goetz's International Pictures.
She was rejected by both studios.
Then she tested at Warner Bros., but this time around, Wallis' sister Minna Wallis arranged for film director Fritz Lang to coach Scott.

Hal Wallis saw Scott's test and recognized her potential.
At the age of 22, Scott's film debut was the comedy-drama You Came Along (1945).

During the shooting of You Came Along, Hal Wallis showed Scott's screen test to Hollywood columnist Bob Thomas.
Wallis told Thomas, "Notice how her eyes are alive and sparkling... Once in a while she reads a line too fast, but direction will cure that.
That voice makes her intriguing."
