In 1853 Heinrich Laube called her to the Hofburgtheater in Vienna where she worked until her death. In 1856 she married the actor and author Ludwig Gabillon, with whom she had two daughters. Dora married the historian August Fournier and Helene married the author Ludwig Bettelheim. In 1878 she translated a play by Alfred de Musset in German.
