Miss Spider

Miss Spider is a primary character in "James and the Giant Peach". She is like a mother figure to James. Her love interest is Mr. Centipede. She is voiced by Susan Sarandon.

Miss Spider is first seen as a normal-sized spider in James' window. He tells her it is a bad idea to build her web there because his aunts might see her and they hate spiders. Through song, James explains his name and puts her back in the web. The next morning, when Spiker and Sponge wake him and find Miss Spider, they try to kill her, but he rescues her.

Trivia
During the set of when Miss Spider is normal-sized, Paul Terry (who played James) got bit by the spider. This is why he never acted again.
