Her grandfather and great-grandfather had both been Hofburg stage players. From 1901 to 1920 she became well-known and beloved around Vienna singing in Carltheater, in the Donaumetropole, Apollo, Raimundtheater the Prater and several more. Her most famous role was perhaps Franzi Steingruber in Oscar Strauss "Ein Walzertraum". She made countless recordings and even a few silent films. In 1905 she married the actor and bass Arthur Guttmann, brother of siblings of tragic fate Emil and Paul Guttmann (not to be confused with composer Artur Guttmann).
