Background

Saleswoman is a mannequin at a department store in Cleveland, Ohio.

During the events of The Twilight Zone: Season 1 Episode 34 The After Hours played by Elizabeth Allen

As Marsha White is walking around a room, Saleswoman asks her if she has been helped. Marsha tells her that she is looking for a gold thimble for her mother and the Saleswoman walks to a display case and shows her the only item within it, a gold thimble. Marsha buys the thimble and pays the Saleswoman an even 25 dollars. As Marsha is leaving she stops and calls the whole experience odd and the Saleswoman calls her by her name. Marsha starts to mention how the room only had the item she needed and then realizes the Saleswoman called her by her name. As Marsha is leaving, the Saleswoman calls her by her last name and asks if she is happy.

Later, Marsha wakes up on a couch in an office and finds the store closed. She tries to leave, but the doors won't open. As she is walking around she knocks over a mannequin that looks like the Elevator Man. She starts to hear voices telling her that she knows who she is. The mannequins continue to call to her and she walks into the elevator which takes her to the 9th floor. When the door opens, the Saleswoman is standing there and brings her out of the elevator. The mannequins in the room start to walk around and surround Marsha and the Saleswoman tells Marsha to concentrate and remember. Marsha then realizes that she is a mannequin and it was her turn to leave for a month. The Saleswoman then takes her turn into the world and the others congratulate her.
