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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Devout believers are safeguarded in a high degree against the risk of certain neurotic illnesses; their acceptance of the universal neurosis spares them the task of constructing a personal one.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
