Early Life

Fazira was born in Sungai Choh, a small town in Selangor, Malaysia, the first child and the only daughter of Wan Chek and Azizah Zaik. Her parents were of Chinese origin. Fazira was an active student during her school days and developed a passion for acting, which she showed an interest in at a very early age. She also joined many school's clubs and societies such as Scouting, St John Ambulance of Malaysia, English Language Society and Culture Club. She was also an active sports student back then and has represented herself and her school in Netball. She said that the knowledge and socialization which she gained in joining those clubs played an important role in making who she was as Erra Fazira today.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Fazira went on to attend several different schools. She also attended the same secondary school with her good friend, Umie Aida, at SMK Putri Melawati, Kuala Lumpur.
