Personal Life
Grogan and her two sisters all attended the Notre Dame Convent School.
She was working as a waitress in Glasgow at the Spaghetti Factory restaurant when she was spotted by film director, Bill Forsyth.
She has a prominent scar on the left side of her face. She was a bystander in the Pollok Inn, a Glasgow pub, at the age of 17 when a fight broke out between several patrons and a broken bottle was hurled in her direction as she was fleeing. She was severely injured and states that her parents still find it hard to read about the incident. She began filming Gregory's Girl just three months after the incident, her face having to be filmed from one side only.
Grogan married band mate Stephen Lironi in Glasgow in 1994. The couple live in Haringey. In 2005 they adopted a daughter, Lucia.
