Career
Latjuba made her film debut in 1987 with Bilur-Bilur Penyesalan (Stripes of Regret), while still in high school. During her film career, Latjuba was considered a sex symbol. Bruce Edmond, writing for The Jakarta Post, described her as being "many an Indonesian man’s fantasy woman" at the time.
When preparing his 2002 cover album Dekade (Decade), Chrisye approached Latjuba to perform two duets, "Kangen" ("Longing") and "Anggrek Bulan" ("Moon Orchid"), with him on the album.
Latjuba accepted. She later performed in the Dekade Concert with him. On 22 December 2008, Latjuba moved to Los Angeles, United States, citing rising intolerance in Indonesia and overcrowding in Jakarta.
