Biography

Karim was born in

Taman Ismail Marzuki, Teguh Karya asked her to join his theatre company, Teater Populer.[1][2]

Although the theatre troupe had been active in film since 1971,[1] Karim only made her feature film debut in 1985, with Karya's Ibunda.[3] Owing to her previous experience in Karya's Teater Populer, she found that she did not need any special coaching for the film: she knew what the director expected.[4] Her next film, Pacar Ketinggalan Kereta, was also directed by Karya. In it, Karima played a secretary named Retno who is assumed to be having an affair with the main character.[5]

Karim only acted in two films during the 1990s.[3] She instead spent much time acting in soap operas, such as Parmin (1994), Bayangan Cermin Palsu (1995), and Indonesia Berbisik (1995).[6]

Karim returned to film in 2001, portraying Giok Lan in

Ca Bau Kan.[7] By 2008 Karim had become a lecturer on psychology at the University of Indonesia.[2] She has also remained active on the stage, starring in such productions as Dara (Musa Widyatmodjo; 2008)[8] and Kereta Kencana (Putu Wijaya; 2009).[9] In 2010, a year in which she acted in three films,[3] Karim was head of the Indonesian Film Festival. She resigned three days before the ceremony, saying "I have failed to make the FFI a warm house for the nation's artists and filmmakers".[10]

As of August 2017[update], Karim has acted in 25 films.

Indonesian Movie Awards.[11]

Karim has two children.[6]
