During her career, she was one of the most popular stars on the Swedish stage as the female star of the Stenborg theatre, at that time the leading dramatic stage, prior to the founding of the Royal Dramatic Theatre.
[1] In 1776, she was noted as one of the new members of the Stenborg company: "the 20 year old actress mamsell Öhrn proved herself to be a true profit for the theatre and was soon given the appreciation of the audience, who saw the advantages in the art of acting, by which she raised above all her female colleagues in the troupe".
She was the star at the inauguration of the Eriksbergsteatern (Eriksberg Theatre) in 1780 and "became the favorite of the audience through her pleasant personality and stage ability".
[1] Possibly her most famous part was Perette in the operetta De båda jägarna och mjölkflickan ("The two hunters and the milking maid") opposite Magnus Bonn (Vilhelm) and Anders Lundberg (Colas) in 1780.
Her inventory was written up by her sister-in-law Maria Helena Berlin and Johanna Catharina Enbeck, and has been quoted as an example of the wardrobe of an actress of her time.
