Frieda Thenu (24 November 1938 – 15 October 1977), better known by the stage name Farida Arriany, was an Indonesian actress and singer.

Biography

Farida Arriany was born Frieda Thenu in Bandung, West Java, on 24 November 1938. She completed a junior high school education.[1]

Arriany made her feature film debut in 1955, taking the role of Sari in Golden Arrow's Kasih Ibu (A Mother's Love).[1][2] She was credited as Farida Shagniarty in this film, only taking the stage name Farida Arriany some time later.[1] She appeared in eighteen further films in the following six years. These included the role of Atikah in Air Mata Ibu (A Mother's Tears, 1957),[2] a remake of the 1941 film of the same name;[3] Lastri in Anakku Sajang (My Dear Child, 1957),[2] for which she won Best Leading Actress at the 1960 Indonesian Film Week; and a role in Pedjuang (Warriors for Freedom, 1961),[1] which was screened in competition at the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival in 1961.[4]

In the early 1960s, Arriany established her own film company, the Farida Arriany Film Corporation. JB Kristanto's Indonesian film catalogue lists the company as only producing a single film, Kami Bangun Hari Esok (We Wake Tomorrow, 1963); this was the first Indonesian film shot with CinemaScope.[5] In his encyclopedia of film figures, however, Misbach Yusa Biran writes that the company completed two films, as well as Road to Bali (1968), a collaborative project with Japan.[1]

During the mid-1960s Arriany was inactive from film acting. She made her return in 1969, taking two roles that year: as a singer in Sjumandjaja's Apa jang Kau Tjari, Palupi? (What Are You Seeking, Palupi?) and in Wim Umboh's Laki-Laki Tak Bernama (Man Without a Name). Over the next eight years she took numerous supporting roles, including in Lewat Tengah Malam (After Midnight, 1971), Salah Asuhan (Wrong Upbringing, 1972), and Menanti Kelahiran (Awaiting Birth, 1977).[1][2]

Arriany was an active promoter of tourism. She was also involved in an organisation supporting older actors. In 1975 she was appointed Second Treasurer for the Indonesian Film Actors Union [id]. Though her term was supposed to last until 1978, Arriany died in Jakarta on 15 October 1977.[1]

Filmography

During her twenty-two-year career, Arriany appeared in more than forty films.[2]
