Lorraine McIntosh

McIntosh is a vocalist with Deacon Blue, whose second studio album, When the World Knows Your Name (1989), topped the UK Albums Chart for two weeks, and included "Real Gone Kid", which became their first UK top ten single.

McIntosh took a break from music to play the character Alice Henderson in the Scottish soap opera River City, which was set in a fictitious suburb of Glasgow. Her character first appeared in 2002 and was written out during May 2010. McIntosh has also appeared in a few Scottish films, including Ken Loach's My Name Is Joe, and Lone Scherfig's Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself, as well as in three episodes of the TV police-drama series Taggart. She also starred in BBC One's comedy-drama Hope Springs.
