Did you ever see June Cotton in Lace - a brilliant mini series i have to say from the 80's was in 2 parts and it starred a very young phoebe cates june cotton was a not so nice mother
LOL Julie hon, you made me smile.
I think you just confused us lot thats all, partly by mixing together her real name (June Brown) and her characters name (Dot Cotton) and perhaps also because June wasn't actually in Lace.
This is the link to some info on her, listing her film and TV appearances:
june brownIt doesn't mention her being in anything called Lace. However, I do remember the TV series called quite well. It was an American TV mini-series, so I doubt June would have been in it
but I can definitely see why you thought she was...
This is it isn't it Jules..
The story was about Phoebe Cates' attempts to track down her birth mother. The mother could be one of three women, all of whom had vowed to never reveal the secret truth behind the child's illegitimate birth.
You've just mistaken June, for the American actress Brooke Adams, shown above Phobe in the picture. They do look really alike in that pic. This is her
I can certainly see the likeness that caused you to mistake her for our Dot. I reckon it was the hairstyle she had on the show that did it.
Though Id have to be honest and say, as lovely as June may be, Brooke was best known for her roles in 'scary' or 'horror' type films and was just a tad prettier than Dot.
You may remember Brook as having quite a deep husky voice, her best know role was probably starring alongside Donald Sutherland, in the Invasion of The Body Snatchers.
**Anyway, sorry I sort of had to digress from the Eastenders theme of this thread (me is bit of a film fan/nutcase, especially the scary sort
) I just didn't want our jules feeling ignored and wanted to let her know I
got what she was talking about**
If they ever need a stand-in for Dot we know where to send them now!
