Fifi Young
Fifi Joung (Perfected Spelling: Fifi Young; 12 January 1914 – 5 March 1975) was an Indonesian actress of mixed Chinese and French descent. She acted in at least 86 films over her 34-year career.
==Early life and stage career==
Young was born with the name Nonie Tan (Chinese name Tan Kiem Nio; 陳肯牛) in Sungai Liput, Aceh, on 12 January 1914 to a French father and ''peranakan'' Chinese mother; her father may have been a serviceman during World War I. After her father died when she was a child, Young and her mother moved to Batavia (modern day Jakarta), where Young completed four years of elementary school at a Dutch-run school for Chinese.
Young first joined the Dewi Dja' troupe as a dancer, using the pseudonym Dewi Maria. She later switched to Miss Riboet's Orion, where she married the playwright Njoo Cheong Seng when she was 14. The elder man coached her in acting and convinced her to take the stage name Fifi Young; Young was the Cantonese equivalent of Njoo's Hokkien surname, while Fifi was meant to be reminiscent of the French actress Fifi D'Orsay. With Miss Riboet, Young travelled throughout South East Asia, including in British Malaya.
In 1930 the couple established the Moonlight Crystal Follies in Penang, where Young had her first acting job. By the mid-1930s Young and Njoo had switched to the Dardanella troupe. Young was one of the group's stars, and after most of the group went abroad Young and Njoo established their own troupe, Fifi Young's Pagoda, in 1937.
