The Junk Lady is one of a race of Junk People in Labyrinth, and she attempts to make Sarah forget her quest by plying her with her own possessions. The Junk Lady is operated by Karen Prell, and voiced by Denise Bryer.

Role In The Film

The Junk Lady is one of the many junk people who occupy an area of the Labyrinth known as The Junk Fields. Sarah encounters The Junk Lady while wandering around the heaps of rubbish in a daze, accidentally bumping into her. The Junk Lady is irritable to begin with, and scolds Sarah for disturbing her. However, she unexpectedly offers Sarah her toy bear Lancelot and ushers her through a doorway set in the midst of a mound of junk.

The doorway leads into an exact copy of Sarah's room, and Sarah initially flops down onto the bed and relaxes, considering her time in the Labyrinth to be a dream. At this point The Junk Lady bustles in, and begins plying Sarah with her own possessions, attempting to distract her.

While Sarah initially takes all of the objects that are offerred to her and listens to the old woman's prattle, she eventually grows suspicious and remembers that she has to save Toby. Sarah shrugs off all of the items The Junk Lady had given to her, and escapes through the ceiling.
