She was born in Gävle, Sweden, and grew up in Stockholm. Her mother is Russian, and her father Swedish. She speaks both Swedish and Russian.
Dahlström gained international attention in 1998, after starring as "Elin" in the film Fucking Åmål (Show Me Love, English title). For this, she won the Guldbagge Award for Best Actress, together with Rebecka Liljeberg. Despite receiving numerous offers to act in other films, she declined, stating that she wanted to concentrate on finishing school.
When once asked when she was younger what she wanted to be when she grew up, Dahlström stated: "Serial killer, or rockstar."[1]
In 2002, Dahlström acted as assistant director and Russian translator, alongside Fucking Åmål director Lukas Moodysson, with his film Lilya 4-ever.
