While still in high school in Jakarta, in 1952, she was asked by Basuki Effendy [id] to act in his film Pulang (Homecoming).

[1] Pulang was released to acclaim,[1] with a review in De Nieuwsgier highlighting Noor as vibrant and photogenic.

[3] In an August 1954 article for Film Varia magazine, Haznam Rahman described Noor as a new hope for Indonesian cinema, having found the greatest place in audiences' hearts despite her short filmography.

[8] That year she acted in three films: Melati Sendja (Twilight Jasmine), Peristiwa 10 Nopember (The 10 November Incident), and Rajuan Alam (Call of Nature).

[14] Noor was married to Firmansjah (also known as Dick Ninkeula), a Produksi Film Negara employee whom she had met on the set of Pulang, in 1955, soon after graduating senior high school.

[1] At the funeral several film figures provided eulogies, including Djamaluddin Malik, Turino Djunaedy [id], and Basuki Effendy.

Among the mourners were Chitra Dewi, Sofia Waldy, Bing Slamet, Dhalia, Astaman, and Lely Sulastri.
