Juno Skinner (Tia Carrere) is the secondary antagonist of the 1994 action film True Lies.
She was a beautiful, determined, and tenacious yet warped, greedy, amoral, chaotic, remorseless, bloodthirsty, violent, and dangerous woman with a very sadistic side to her. An arts and antiquities dealer, who was working for terrorist by collecting information for their organization with her feminine wiles. She also helps smuggle arms in to the U.S. by placing them into ancient artifacts.
Eventually she met her demise when she kidnapped Helen Tasker, international spy Harry Tasker's wife, hostage. In the struggle with Helen, she shot the driver and the limo was driving to the edge of a broken bridge. Harry, in a helicopter managed to save his wife, but Juno was never seen after she along with the limo fell off the bridge, but it is most likely that she drowned.
Personality[]
Juno was a sexy, greedy, selfish woman who was willing to go to extreme lengths as long as she got what she wanted. She only cared about her financial rewards as she stated to Harry that she was only helping the organization because of the amount of money they promised her and cared nothing for their cause. Though apparently she has one regret about being a villainess. While she is never sorry about hurting people, she appreciates ancient art so much that she cringes when the terrorists break open a large statue with secret weapons inside. She also acts as if she doesn't care in front of Harry, but it's obvious to the audience that she does. She gets slapped around numerous times in the movie.
