Biography
Zaenah was born in Jambi, a city on the island of Sumatra, Dutch East Indies, on 11 November 1928.

Aside from acting in stage plays, Zaenah led her own musical group, the Los Suita Rama, and performed topeng dance.[1]
In 1951 Zaenah entered the film industry. Originally she performed in productions by a number of companies, including Golden Arrow, Fred Young's Bintang Surabaya, and Tan and Wong Bros. In 1953 she migrated to Djamaluddin Malik's Persari, starring in several films for the company, including Supir Istimewa, Pegawai Tinggi, and Bintang Baru.[1]
In the 1960s, as the domestic film industry was suffering, Zaenah moved behind the camera. She worked as producer on four films.[2]
