Tributes have poured in for late EastEnders actress June Brown who played Dot Cotton on the BBC soap
(Picture: Ian West/PA)June Brown, the British acting legend, has died aged 95. You probably know her for her role as Dot Cotton/Branning in EastEnders which she played for thirty years, but even if you never watched an episode – and we don’t quite know why this is the case – but it’s likely that she nevertheless has a place in your heart.
Over the course of her staggering 2,884 episodes on the soap, Brown became more than a household name. A sort of a British Audrey Hepburn meets Auntie Mame – and before you baulk, emphasis on the British, and on the sort of – she was charming in a manner reminiscent of your eccentric and aloof Grandma.
