Biography

Indriati Iskak in c. 1960

Indriati Iskak was born on 9 June 1942, at Santa Melania Hospital, in Surabaya, East Java. She is the daughter of Robert Maria "Bob" Iskak,[1] an educator who transitioned to film in 1952, when he became the director of Penjelendup (Smuggler),[2] and Dutch pianist, Alida van de Kuinder. Her brothers were Boy Iskak (26 November 1939 – 2009), Josef Budiman (died 1944), and Irwan Iskak (18 April 1950 – 11 May 1990). While her sister were Alice Iskak (born 14 November 1947).

Indriati's father, Robert Maria Iskak, was born on 15 May 1912 in Tegal, Dutch East Indies, to Sumawi and Sundari Berghahn. His brothers were Yusuf Ismail (6 April 1920 – 17 January 1983) and Mohammad Jusuf. While his sisters were Suwarti Sumawi (24 April 1924 – 5 January 2005), Suparti Sumawi, MA Mulbariah, and Tanty Sumawi. Bob died at her residence in Condet, Kramat Jati, on 21 June 2002 due to mild stroke at the age of 90.

Indriati's mother, Alida van de Kuinder, was born on 10 February 1917 in Hilversum, North Holland, to Nicolaas van de Kuinder and Gerarda Rietveld. Her brothers were Gerard van de Kuinder (b. 1919) and Nico van de Kuinder (b. 1927). Alida died on 11 November 2013 at the age of 96.

Indriati made her feature film debut in Usmar Ismail's Tiga Dara (Three Maidens) in 1957, starring alongside Chitra Dewi and Mieke Wijaya. She portrayed Nenny, the youngest of three sisters raised by their grandmother after their mother's death.[3] The film was a massive popular success, and Indriati, who was praised for having a more naturalistic acting style than her stage-trained fellow actors, achieved the greatest popularity among her co-stars.[4]

The following year Indriati appeared in another of Ismail's films, Sengketa (Conflict, 1957). She again played the daughter in a family fraught with difficulties.[5] After this film, Indriati completed two productions with Djuprihadi's Stupa Film, both under the direction of Wim Umboh: Djuara Sepatu Roda (Roller Skating Champion, 1958) and Tiga Mawar (Three Roses, 1959).[6] With Rima Melati, Gaby Mambo [id], and Baby Huwae, she formed a girl group named the Baby Dolls in 1959.[1]

Indriati continued acting through 1963,[1] when she made her last film, Daun Emas (Golden Leaves). It was directed by her father and co-starred her brother Boy.[7] Indriati's popularity during the 1950s and 1960s has been credited with leading Indonesian film directors to seek out Indo-looking actresses for their films, and thus precipitating the careers of film stars such as Lydia Kandou, Meriam Bellina, and Tamara Bleszynski.[8] Advertising for Perfini's Asrama Dara (Dormitory for Girls; 1958) touted its young star Suzzanna, an Indo girl from Bogor, as the next Indriati Iskak.[9]

After Daun Emas, Indriati retired from acting and went to university, completing a degree in psychology at the University of Indonesia in 1968.[1] After some time working at the Indonesian Air Force's psychological counselling bureau, in the 1970s she began working at Unilever.[1] She stayed with the company for twenty-six years, at first handling market research before moving on to marketing management and advertising. Towards the end of her time with Unilever, she oversaw the computerisation of the company's Indonesia branch.[10] In the mid-1970s Indriati also taught psychology at the Jakarta Art Institute [id],[1] and for fifteen years she was on the board of the Strada system of Catholic schools.[10]

Indriati married an Indonesian Air Force officer,[11] Makki Perdanakusuma (December 28, 1928 – July 27, 2014) who was the younger brother of Halim Perdanakusuma, in May 15, 1962. The couple had three children:

  • Sania Makki, born on 17 May 1963 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Married to Franklin Gunawan on 1983, with children:
  1. Franka Franklin Gunawan, born on 8 July 1983 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Married to Nadiem Makarim (b. 4 July 1984) on June 2014.[12][13]

  2. Alessandra Indigo Keyla, born on 10 January 1997 in Jakarta, Indonesia.[19]
  • Sari Makki-Philips, born on 14 May 1969 in Jakarta, Indonesia.[20]

They remained married until Makki Perdanakusuma's death on July 27, 2014.[21] As of 2016, Indriati is a branding consultant with Makki Makki, having worked there since 1994. Her daughter Sania and son Sakti also work for the company.[10]
