Lies Noor (
c. 1938 – 1961) was an Indonesian actress. She first appeared on film in
Pulang (
Homecoming) in 1952, while she was still at school. She rose in popularity with a string of successful films, and was able to command high fees for her roles. In the mid-1950s, having married and had a child, she took a break from her career to care full-time for her son. After returning to acting in 1960, however, she developed
encephalitis the next year and died in hospital two days later. This photograph of Noor was taken around 1956.
