She began her career on the stage in small roles and, as a model for Harper’s Bazaar, was discovered by Hollywood producer Hal Wallis. The actress would appear in 22 films. Dubbed The Threat, she was best known for her alluring roles in film noirs of the 1940s and 1950s. Scott penned an article for Photoplay in 1948 called 'Don’t Misunderstand Me.'

The actress recorded an album in 1958 called Lizabeth. She continued to work in television and made a career comeback in the modern film noir Pulp in 1972. After that Scott retired a wealthy woman.
