Editing Clare Grogan (section)

===Film and television===
While working as a [[waitress]] at the Spaghetti Factory [[restaurant]] in Glasgow, she was spotted by film director [[Bill Forsyth]].<ref name=herald/> This led to her breakthrough acting role in 1981's ''[[Gregory's Girl]]'' as Susan. Because of her facial wound there were objections from the producers, but Forsyth refused to recast the role and Grogan was filmed mostly in profile. When filmed in close up, makeup artists covered Grogan's scar with Derma wax.<ref name=stv2/>
