Labyrinth (1986)

JENNIFER CONNELLY Labyrinth, 1986

A few members of the behind-the-scenes crew couldn’t resist getting involved in the dance number. “When David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly were rehearsing in the bubble for the ballroom sequence, everybody was dancing,” recalls property master Barry Wilkinson. “Joe Dipple, who was an Elstree prop man, began joking with me. He said, ‘You know how ballroom dance contestants used to wear numbers on their backs?’ I said, ‘Sure!’ and we quickly made a numbered card with a bit of Velcro on it. As David Bowie came around with Jennifer, Joe just placed it on his back–’Number Eight’–or whatever the number was. And when Jim Henson saw it, he just rolled up with laughter.”

Sarah’s Bedroom in LABYRINTH (1986) dir. by Jim Henson

Sarah’s room is filled with a number of items feeding her imagination. She owns several fantasy books, including The Wizard of Oz, Snow White, Where the Wild Things Are, Alice in Wonderland, and Grimm’s Fairy Tales, as well the games Judge Dredd, Dungeons & Dragons, Ludo, and a maze game resembling a labyrinth. There are dolls that look quite a bit like Ludo, Sir Didymus, and one of the Fireys. Other decorations include a bookend that looks like Hoggle, and a statuette of Jareth. M. C. Escher’s lithograph Relativity hangs on her wall along with posters for various musicals, including Cats and Evita. She also owns a collection of bears, her favorite of which is named Lancelot.
