She studied at the Arnhem Theater School and graduated in 1965. Almost immediately after graduating she was recruited into the subsidized theater with the Haagse Comedie company. She made her debut in 1965 in Peter Weiss's play The Persecution and Murder of Jean Paul Marat. She gained great fame in 1968 with her role as Joop ter Heulin the television series of the same name. 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. 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!? and television series. In one of these series, Pleisterkade 17, she was noticed by Annie MG Schmidt, who had written the series. Schmidt would put Labij forward in musical and stage productions of her hand, such as Foxtrot, Madam and A tear falls on the tompoes. She also appeared in stage and musical productions by other writers, such as De Stunt by Guus Vleugel. In 1981 she was awarded the Johan Kaart Prijs.
