Performed at Albert Ranft's theatre, old Ostermalmsteatern 1903, at the Swedish Theatre 1904 and from 1905-19 at Vasateatern. From 1919 to her death in 1943 she worked at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm where some of her most notable parts were as Lady Chiltern in Oscar Wildes An Ideal Husband (1919), Adelaide i play Johan Ulfstjerna, Julia Swedenhielm in Hjalmar Bergmans Swedenhielms (1925), Essie Miller in Eugene O'Neills Ah, Wilderness!
