She produced two award-winning documentaries and was a commentator for years on NPR, serving as a contributor to its ''NOW'' series.
Grosvenor also appeared in several films, including ''Personal Problems'' (1980), an independent film by Bill Gunn, ''Daughters of the Dust'' (1992), about a Gullah family in 1902 during a time of transition on the Sea Islands, and ''Beloved'' (1998), based on Toni Morrison's 1987 novel of the same name.
