Biography
Roosilawaty (15 April 1936 – 25 February 2009) was an Indonesian actress and dancer. Born with the name Surayi Pendidikan, Roosilawaty adopted her stage name when she started her career as a singer and dancer. She starred in her first lead role in the film Tjatut in 1956 and continued to appear in Indonesian films until 1963. Among her films are Tiga Dara (Three Virgins) and Lahirnja Gatotkatja (Birth of Gatotkatja), a latter inspired by traditional Indonesian wayang.
