She starred in various tv shows in the seventies like Doctor Who, Minder and Duchess of Duke Street. But will be always be remembered for playing Dot Cotton in the BBC soap opera Eastenders. Brown was born on 16 February 1927 in Needham Market, Suffolk,] the daughter of Louisa Ann (née Butler) and Henry William Melton Brown. She was one of five children, although her younger brother John Peter died of pneumonia in 1932 at 15 days old, and her elder sister Marise died in 1934 aged eight from a meningitis-like illness. Aside from English, she had Irish, Scottish, and from her maternal grandmother, Sephardic Jewish (from Algeria, the Netherlands, and Italy), ancestry. Through her grandmother, she was descended from noted Jewish bare-knuckle boxer Isaac Bitton. During the Second World War, she was evacuated to the Welsh village of Pontyates in Carmarthenshire. During the later years of the war, she served in the Wrens and was classically trained at the Old Vic Theatre School in London's Lambeth area. Brown had a long television career, with small roles in Coronation Street as Mrs Parsons (1970–71); the Play for Today, Edna, the Inebriate Woman as Clara (1971); the Doctor Who story The Time Warrior as Lady Eleanor (1973–74); the nursing soap Angels; the history-of-Britain Churchill's People; long-running comedy drama Minder; the police drama soap The Bill; and cult sci-fi series Survivors. She had a bigger part as Mrs Leyton in the costume drama The Duchess of Duke Street (1976), and played Mrs Mann in Oliver Twist (1985).[citation needed] She also starred in the wartime big band comedy Ain't Misbehavin (1997), and played Nanny Slagg in the BBC's big-budget production of Gormenghast in 2000. She was cast in small roles in several movies, appearing as the grieving mother of an undead biker in British horror flick Psychomania (1971), as well as Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971), Sitting Target (1972), The 14 (1973), Murder by Decree (1979), Nijinsky (1980), The Mambo Kings (1992) and the Mr. Bean movie spin-off Bean (1997). She also appeared as Tom Hedden's wife in Straw Dogs (1971), although her scenes were cut from the film. In 1984, she featured in the TV mini-series Lace which starred actress Phoebe Cates.[citation needed] In 2006, Brown appeared as Aunt Spiker at the Children's Party at the Palace, an all-star event to celebrate the Queen's 80th birthday. In 2010, Brown took part in the annual Christmas special of Strictly Come Dancing. Brown said "I'm terrified and apprehensive about what I've let myself in for, I must be barmy and I'm not sure what's come over me... I just hope I can remember the steps to the routines. I'm looking forward to working with the professional dancers and the other contestants."[10] Her dancing partner was Vincent Simone, with whom she danced the tango. In July 2012, Brown hosted a documentary for the BBC called Respect Your Elders, which looked at society's treatment and attitudes towards the elderly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get notified when we post Subscribe here:    / moochtv   FIND US HERE! - FACEBOOK -   / moochtvuk     / moochtv   TWITTER - www,twitter.com/moochtvuk INSTAGRAM -   / moochtvuk   EMAIL - moochtv@outlook.com Don't forget to subscribe!!!
