Hetty Sarlene (born 21 April 1984) is a Singapore-born Malaysian singer and actress. After performing at two international competitions in 1999, she was signed to New Southern Records. After releasing two albums with them and winning Best Artiste at the 2002 Anugerah Planet Muzik, she focused on acting. She has since played in several Malaysian films. ==Biography== Sarlene was born on 21 April 1984 to Abdul Hamid, a technician, and his wife Sariah Omar, a manager. She was named after the Indonesian songstress Hetty Koes Endang. By age three she was singing "only" Endang's songs and would sing along with the singer when the latter appeared on television. She has a younger sister. She began performing at family events at age five, before entering singing competitions around age twelve or thirteen. She also began singing karaoke regularly. Sarlene represented Singapore in the 1999 Asia Song Festival, in which she placed fourth, as well as the Asia Bagus competition in Bali, Indonesia, in which she placed fifth. Afterwards, in 2000 Sarlene was booked by New Southern Records; its manager, Iman Wan, had been scouting her for several years but not signed her due to her age. After signing with NSR, she released her debut single, "Rindu Aku Rindu" ("Long, I Long"), which was an instant hit. This success led her to release her self-titled debut album in July of that year, which contained, among other songs, a duet with Anuar Zain entitled "Demi Cinta Kita" ("For Our Love"). Another single, "Sangsi Asmara" ("Doubting Love"), was released in October 2001 as part of the compilation album ''Sutera 2'' (''Silk 2''). Sarlene second album, ''Tiada Lain'', was launched on 15 October of that year. It included a song, "Kau Tetap Ku Cinta" ("You're Still the One I Love"), written by Sarlene, as well as a duet with R.E.M. entitled "Hampa" ("Alone"). She was reportedly pleased with the results, and followed the release with several months of promotion. However, the album was somewhat unsuccessful. In 2002 Hetty won Best Artiste at Anugerah Planet Muzik and by 2002 had moved to Kuala Lumpur with her mother, who served as her manager. In 2003, Sarlene made her feature film debut in ''Iskandar'' as the lead character's arranged wife; she had taken the role reluctantly in 2002 after being offered an audition by the production company. That same year she starred in a serial adaptation of the 1995 film ''Sembilu'' as Zetty, which lasted for five seasons. In 2005 she starred in a feature-length remake of the film, entitled ''Sembilu 2005''; the film was a flop. In 2008 Sarlene appeared in the Malay action film ''Evolusi KL Drift'' (''KL Drift Evolution''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hetty Sarlene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
