June Brown is best known today for her role as the long-suffering chain-smoking Dot Cotton (now Dot Branning) in the BBC TV soap EastEnders. She arrived on a three month contract in 1985 and is still in the show. She was nominated for a BAFTA in 2008.

She celebrates her 90th birthday in February 2017 and has no intention of retiring as acting "keeps her alive".

June was born in Suffolk and brought up in a music-loving family. Towards the end of World War Two, she joined up, choosing the WRNS where she worked as a cinema operator showing training films and newsreels to the sailors.

She did some acting during that time and after a brief and unsuccessful job in an office, she was one of very few chosen to receive a classical training at the Old Vic Theatre School. From there she joined the Old Vic Theatre Company where she worked with such greats as Edith Evans, Laurence Oliver and Albert Finney. Her roles included Lady Macbeth and Ibsen's Hedda Gabler.

She had five children in relatively quick succession and continued acting on TV and the London stage, often putting her youngest in a pram and going in the guard's van on the train to the theatre.

Throughout her time on EastEnders she has occasionally ventured away to direct or take part in other television series. In 2009 she stripped down to nothing as Jessie in the stage production Calendar Girls. She was 82.

She was awarded an MBE for services to drama and charity in 2008.



琼-布朗今天最为人所知的是她在BBC电视肥皂剧《EastEnders》中饰演长期忍受连锁吸烟的Dot Cotton（现在的Dot Branning）。她于1985年以三个月的合同来到这里，现在仍然在剧中。她在2008年被提名为BAFTA奖。

她在2017年2月庆祝她的90岁生日，并不打算退休，因为表演 "让她活着"。

琼出生在萨福克，在一个热爱音乐的家庭长大。第二次世界大战快结束时，她参加了工作，选择了WRNS，在那里她担任电影操作员，为水手们放映训练影片和新闻片。

在那段时间里，她做了一些表演，在一份短暂而不成功的办公室工作之后，她成为被选中在老维克戏剧学校接受古典培训的少数人之一。在那里，她加入了老维克剧团，与伊迪丝-埃文斯、劳伦斯-奥利弗和阿尔伯特-芬尼等名家合作。她的角色包括《麦克白夫人》和易卜生的《海达-盖布勒》。

她在相对较短的时间内生了五个孩子，并继续在电视和伦敦舞台上表演，经常把她最小的孩子放在婴儿车里，在去剧院的火车上乘坐警卫的货车。

在她为EastEnders工作的整个过程中，她偶尔会冒险去做导演或参与其他电视剧的拍摄。2009年，她在舞台剧《日历女孩》中脱得一丝不挂，扮演杰西。她当时82岁。

2008年，她因对戏剧和慈善事业的贡献被授予MBE勋章。
