Known as the "horror queen of Indonesian cinema", she is well known in particular in Indonesia for portraying spirits, witches, and other supernatural beings. 2Biography Suzzanna, who was an Indo of Javanese-Manado-German-Dutch heritage, was born in Buitenzorg (now Bogor), West Java, on 13 October 1942.Suzzanna entered acting in the 1958, following the success of Usmar Ismail's Tiga Dara (1956). Cashing in on the popularity of the film, numerous organizations had begun holding "Tiga Dara" competitions; Suzzana, who had been raised in Magelang, won one such competition in Yogyakarta. She was soon cast in Ismail's film Asrama Dara (1958), in which she portrayed the daughter of a politician who must stay at a boarding house for girls. Advertising for this film emphasized Suzzanna and her role, drawing on the previous success of Tiga Dara by touting her as the next Indriati Iskak. Suzzanna's performance was well received by audiences, and in 1960 she was named Best Child Actress Award at the Asian Film Festival; she was also given recognition at the 1960 Indonesian Film Festival.By the mid-1960s she had married fellow actor Dicky Suprapto. Together, in 1965, they established the film production company Tri Murni Film, which produced only one film—Segenggam Tanah Perbatasan (1965), starring both Suzzanna and Suprapto—before closing. They collaborated on another film, Suzie, the following year. Their final effort, Tidar Jaya Film, was most successful; it produced four films between 1970 and 197
