Courtney Love, born July 9, 1964, is a musician and actress, known as the frontwoman of the band Hole and the wife of late Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain. Born to hippie parents, Courtney bounced from place to place during her childhood and teens, when she began to play in local punk bands. She first pursued a career as an actress, landing roles in ‘Sid and Nancy’ (1986) and ‘Straight to Hell’ (1987).
Courtney formed Hole in the late 80s and they received critical acclaim with their 1991 debut album, produced by Kim Gordon. Their second album ‘Live Through This’ (1994) is considered grunge canon. Courtney began acting again in 1995, earning a Golden Globe nom for ‘The People vs. Larry Flynt’ (1996). Hole’s third album ‘Celebrity Skin’ (1998) was nominated for three Grammy Awards. More acting followed, with roles in ‘200 Cigaretts’., ‘Man on the Moon’ (1999), and ‘Trapped’ (2002). She also appeared on the series ‘Sons Of Anarchy” and ‘Empire’.
Courtney is a mother-of-one, who has daughter Frances Bean from her marriage to Kurt Cobain, who passed away in 1994. She has publicly dealt with addiction and legal troubles. She was sentenced to court-mandated rehab in 2005.
Courtney Love is a true rock star. Here, she’s seen playing London’s Brixton Academy on May 4, 1995. She wore a silky dress with punky hair, as was her style as the time.
