She made her debut in 1965 in Peter Weiss's play The Persecution and Murder of Jean Paul Marat.

Labij, who, in addition to her education at drama school, had also taken tap, singing and ballet lessons, was perfect for this series, a musical adaptation of the books by Cissy van Marxveldt.

[3] In addition to her stage career with the Haagse Comedie, Toneelgroep De Appel and the Ro Theater, Labij also acted in feature films such as What see ik!?

Schmidt would put Labij forward in musical and stage productions of her hand, such as Foxtrot, Madam and A tear falls on the tompoes.

Her role in the TV series Zonder Ernst (1992) felt like a personal failure and in 1994 she was replaced by Sjoukje Hooymaayer.
