Career
Gascoine was a soubrette on a British tour of the Crazy Gang Show early in her career in the 1950s. In 1956, she appeared as a chorus dancer in the Adventures of Davy Crockett's Christmas season, starring Hermione Baddeley at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin. Gascoine appeared in a revue in the Irving Theatre, London, alongside Victor Spinetti. Gascoine had taken over Millicent Martin in a British tour of Expresso Bongo by 1959.
Gascoine appeared in the film The Pure Hell of St Trinian's (1960) but by then she was in her twenties. In 1963, she appeared in the Dundee Repertory Theatre. She appeared in Downfield Musical Society productions while in Dundee. Ken Loach, a future film and television producer, was also involved in her early work.
Gascoine began appearing on television in series such as Z-Cars, General Hospital, Rooms, Dixon of Dock Green, Softly, Softly: Taskforce and Within These Walls from 1970 to present. She appeared in the British sex-comedy Confessions of a Pop Artist (1975) and then played Letty Gaunt in the BBC period drama The Onedin Line (1976–1979).
She became well-known in 1980 as she appeared in The Gentle Touch, an ITV drama starring Detective Maggie Forbes. This was the first British television drama centered on a female police officer, and it came only a few months before the BBC's similarly themed Juliet Bravo. The Gentle Touch was a huge ratings hit in the United Kingdom and lasted for five seasons until 1984, although Gascoine went back to face Maggie Forbes in the more action-oriented spin-off series C.A.T.S. Eyes from 1985 to 1987. She then appeared in the final series of the comedy Home to Roost (1989-90) opposite John Thaw, and continued to make guest appearances on British television. She appeared in King of the Wind (1990) opposite Richard Harris and Glenda Jackson.
Dorothy Brock appeared in 42nd Street at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London and in the musical Destry Rides Again cast in France, where Marlene Dietrich appeared.
Gascoine and her second husband, actor Alfred Molina, and her family, Robert Molina, migrated to Los Angeles in the 1990s, where she appeared on American television in series such as Northern Exposure and Touched by an Angel, as well as performing extensively in theatre. Despite living in Los Angeles, she returned to the United Kingdom in 2008 to appear in the show Sister Cities at the Gilded Balloon Theatre.
Gascoine had been confirmed in October 2009 that it was part of the BBC One soap opera EastEnders. From early 2010, she would play Glenda Mitchell, Archie Mitchell's former wife and mother of Ronnie and Roxy. However, she backtracked from her filming commitments on the first day as she felt she "lacked the right skills to film such a large continuing drama." With Glynis Barber, the role was re-cast.
