Background
Karolina Richter, child of musician C. J. Richter, was educated at Dramatens elevskola in Stockholm between 1806 and 1809, under the principal Sofia Lovisa Gråå. Many of the girls graduating from the school between 1804 and 1812, when Gråå was principal, became famous in Sweden, and were commonly called "The Girls of Gråå".
Acting career
Karolina worked at the theatres Djurgårdsteatern and Nya Komiska Teatern before she was hired at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in 1814. She worked there for fifty years, and became one of the most popular actors there, but she never became a star because of the parts she played; she always played old women...
