Straas is possibly the grandmother of the famous actress and opera singer Inga Åberg, who became a star at the second national theatre when it opened in 1788, and of the actor Gustav Åbergsson.
•
When the first national theatre was founded in the old premises at Bollhuset, Stockholm in 1737, where only foreign theatre troupes had previously performed, they were only male actors in the original native troupe, and so the theatre advertised for women to play the female parts before the theatre's formal premiere.
One was deemed not suitable, but the other, Beata Sabina Straas a former lady's maid to a lady-in-waiting at the royal court, is remembered as Sweden's first professional native actress to perform on a public stage.
