Marjolein Tambayong (August 22, 1939 – June 23, 2022), better known by her stage name Rima Melati or by her nickname Lientje, was an Indonesian actress, model, and singer.

She appeared in close to one hundred feature films, including works by Wim Umboh, Sjumandjaja, and Teguh Karya.

[7] Melati married Nelson Tobing in 1963[8] and also made several appearances on the newly established State television network, TVRI.

[3] After finishing Kunanti Jawabmu (I Await Your Answer, 1963), Melati took a hiatus from acting;[2] the Encyclopedia of Jakarta attributes this to her having remarried.

The ensuing publicity helped the group to travel abroad to American shows in Malibu and Hawaii, as well as to Europe.

[12] In 1980, Melati along with Indonesian lawyer and former actress Nurbani Yusuf founded Yayasan Kesejahteraan Artis Perintis Film Indonesia (KARFINI), a charitable foundation that provided financial assistance to Indonesian film industry actors and actresses who were active in the 1940s and 1950s.

[16] In 1989, shortly after shooting Sesaat dalam Pelukan (A Moment's Embrace),[2] Melati was diagnosed with Stage 3B breast cancer.

She underwent treatment for one and a half years, traveling to the Netherlands as Indonesian surgeons were unable to perform a partial mastectomy.

[7][9] At the 1973 Indonesian Film Festival, Melati won a Citra Award for Best Leading Actress for her portrayal of Saleha in Intan Berduri.
