She was the daughter of an Irish theater principal and an actress. She made her debut in 1811 at the Crow Street Theatre in The Soldier's Daughter by Andrew Cherry and moved in 1814 to London, where she immediately had long-term success at Covent Garden as Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and was compared to Sarah Siddons.
