She returned to Denmark when war broke out in 1914, touring with her husband's company until 1917. She then joined the Odense Theatre where she became the principal actress until 1924. She went on to tour the provinces until she performed in repertoire at the Casino Theatre in Copenhagen. After a long career, she retired from the stage in 1947. While young, Aggerholm performed a number of leading roles in mainly short silent films released by Nordisk Film from 1910 to 1915.[1][2][3]
