She won Best Actress at the Inside Soap Awards in 2005, Lifetime Achievement at the British Soap Awards, and an MBE in the 2008 Birthday Honors in honor of her contributions to charity and theater.

Brown needed eye surgery in 2017 to save her sight when she became unable to read EastEnders scripts and recognize her family’s faces.
