Soerip (Perfected Spelling: Surip; 22 October 1921 – 7 May 1992) was an Indonesian singer and film actress.

Biography[]

Soerip was born in Banyuwangi, East Java, Dutch East Indies, on 22 October 1921. She only completed two years of elementary school before she dropped out.[1] She later became a kroncong singer, often billed as Miss Soerip. Owing to her habit of batting her eyelashes while singing, she was also nicknamed "Si Mata Roda".[2]

In 1940 Soerip made her feature film debut in Zoebaida, directed by Njoo Cheong Seng for Oriental Film.[2] This was followed in 1941 by Panggilan Darah, in which Soerip was cast with Dhalia as orphaned sisters who try to make a living in the colonial capital of Batavia (now Jakarta).[3] When the company folded, unable to recoup its expenses,[4] Soerip migrated to Majestic Film. She completed three productions for the company: Air Mata Iboe, Djantoeng Hati, and Pantjawarna.[5]

After the Japanese occupation of the Indies in March 1942, in which all but one domestic film studio was shut down, Soerip took a thirty-year hiatus from film, only returning to the industry in 1973 for Sopir Taxi. Owing to her age, she took the honorific Mbah (Grandmother), and was billed Mbah Soerip.[2] During the following two decades she completed a further 20 films, including productions by Slamet Rahardjo, Teguh Karya, and Wim Umboh.[5] A retrospective in Apa Siapa Film Indonesia particularly praises her performance in Rahardjo's Rembulan dan Matahari (1979).[6]

In 1990 Soerip made her last film, Cintaku di Way Kambas, and a soap opera, Bayang-Bayang. That year she was recognised by the National Film Council for her dedication to acting.[2] Soerip died on 7 May 1992 in Jakarta.[2]
