June Brown, who played Dot Cotton in EastEnders, died Thursday at the age of 95.

Despite the fact that the much-loved actress died in her mid-nineties, she lived a long and fulfilling life, which she attributed to doing “what you damn well want.”

“I’ve been on them for over 70 years.” she furthered

John Altman, who played Dot Cotton’s son Nick in the film, spoke about the beloved actress and the one habit she couldn’t seem to kick back in 2020.

June tried but failed to quit smoking after spending nearly 70 years of her life smoking 20 cigarettes each day.

According to Nasty Nick, she was smoking half a pack of cigarettes every day in 2020.
