Oh my gawd..



Many happy returns to the lovely June Brown (aka Dot Cotton), who celebrates her 85th birthday today!



A phenomenal actress, with a long and varied career before Eastenders - read my previous blog about her BAFTA nomination - we adored her on Who Do You Think You Are, her many guest appearances on chat shows, and best of all, her turn as a "burlesque stripper" on The Lily Savage Show!

Unfortunately there is no footage available of that one online, so we'll have to make do with this classic scene from a very early episode of 'stenders (when it still had a sense of humour)...


Gawd bless, ya, ma'am!

  2. God bless June Brown!
    We get Eastenders here in NY but we're about 5 years behind the UK! So that makes Dot only 80 years old in America!
