Faridah is the youngest of 7 brothers and sisters. Father - Basha Merican was a school teacher and head of RIDA, mother a housewife. Faridah became a teacher for 5 years, a broadcaster with Radio/TV Malaysia since the early 60s, an Advertising person with Ogilvy & Mather 1/1/69 till the present and a theatre practitioner from the late 50s till the present!Faridah was married to Leslie Dawson, has one son-Feroz Faisal Merican-he carries my name because I looked after him after our divorce in 1969. Now Faridah is married to Joe Hasham of Number 96 fame! Faridah & Joe set up The Actors Studio in April 1989 with Malaysia's first private theatre venue in 1995 at Plaza Putra. A second venue is The Actors Studio@BSC, a third The Actors Studio GreenHall, Penang. The floods of 2003 took everything away at Plaza Putra. God answered our prayers with our new home at KLPac, Sentul Park, KL. Joe & I will be eternally grateful to Tan Sri Francis Yeoh and our beloved, late Patron Kak Endon.
