==Early life and family==
June Muriel Brown was born in Suffolk in 1927, the daughter of Louisa Ann (née Butler) and Henry William Melton Brown.〔(June Brown - Family History - Genes Reunited Blog - Genes Reunited )〕 She was one of five children, although her baby brother died of pneumonia in 1932, aged 15 days, and her elder sister, Marise, died in 1934, aged eight, from a meningitis-like illness. Other than English, she has Irish, Scottish, Italian and Sephardic Jewish descent from Oran, Algeria.〔(June Brown: 'I'm like a mongrel!' | Interviews | EastEnders | Soaps | What's on TV )〕 On her maternal grandmother's side June is descended from the Jewish bare knuckle boxer Isaac Bitton. She was educated at St John's Church of England school in Ipswich and then won a scholarship to Ipswich High School where she passed the school certificate examinations.〔(June Brown Interview in The Independent ). Retrieved 3 January 2013〕 During the Second World War, she was evacuated to Pontyates, a village in Wales. During the later years of the war, she served in the Wrens (Royal Navy), and was classically trained at The Old Vic Theatre School.〔(June Brown Biography at entertainmentscene 360 ).

At 23, she met and married actor John Garley; he suffered from depression and committed suicide in 1957. In 1958, she married Robert Arnold,〔(IMDb profile of Robert Arnold )〕 a regular in the BBC television programme ''Dixon of Dock Green''. They had six children, though her second daughter, Chloe (b. 1960) born prematurely at 28 weeks, died after 16 days. The other children are Louise (b. 1959), Sophie (b. 1961), William/Bill (b. 1962), Chloe (b. 1964), and Naomi (b. 1966). Chloe suffered paralysis, but Brown is reported as saying that it went away after she prayed for healing. Brown and Arnold were together for forty-five years, until he died in 2003 of Lewy Body dementia. Since then she has lived alone in their house in Surrey.〔(June Brown: All alone in Dot's kitchen - People, News - .Independent.co.uk )〕
