Romand was born as Georgina García y Tamargo on 15 February 1938 in Havana, Cuba. Her artistic career began in her native country as a star vedette of the Tropicana nightclub. Later she would move to the United States to dance in the show "La Parisien" held at the Casino de Paris, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Later she would travel to Mexico, a country where she would start a career as an actress. She would make her film debut when she was barely fifteen years old in I Am Very Macho (1953). On 7 October 1954, she would embark on a trip back to the United States. During this stay in the country, she filmed the 1959 film Catch Me If You Can, co-produced with her native Cuba and in which she was only given a small supporting role.

She was nominated for an Ariel Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Kiki Herrera Calles in the biopic of singer José José, Gavilán o Paloma (1985).
