"...It's a radical time for musicians, a really revolutionary time, and I believe revolutions are a lot more fun than cash, which by the way we don't have at major labels anyway, so we might as well get with it and get in the game."
-Courtney Love
| Date of Birth: July 9th, 1965 |

 |
| She was once been known as the widow of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, but she has carved a successful career for herself as the lead singer of Hole and as an actress in movies such as Man On The Moon. |
 |
| We love edgy, hard-rockers, and Courtney fits the bill. She knows how to blend hard rock with glamour, and does so with elegant flare -- but that doesn't mean she's afraid to speak her mind. |

Nee Love Michelle Harrison on July 9th, 1965, in San Francisco, California, to parents Linda Caroll, a well-known therapist and Hank Harrison, a publisher, Courtney Love was a free spirit from the get go.
For most of her life, Courtney traveled around with her family living mostly in hippie communes. After receiving a trust fund from her grandmother in 1984, Courtney decided to do a little traveling on her own visiting places such as Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, and Liverpool.
Upon returning to the United States, Courtney began singing in music groups in the Bay Area. Soon enough, she caught the attention of movie director Alex Cox, who cast her in the supporting role of Nancy's best friend in the film, Sid & Nancy.
The movie did not see much commercial success and Courtney's movie career soon fizzled after another straight-to-video movie entitled Straight To Hell. After this, Courtney moved to Minneapolis where she joined an all-female band called Babes in Toyland. Soon after, she was kicked out of the band.
With no money and no job, Courtney tried to become a stripper but none of the local clubs would hire her because was "too fat". So she headed back to LA in 1989 and formed the band Hole. Their debut album called Pretty on the Inside didn't burn up the charts, but it did establish them as viable musicians.
Major record labels took notice of the eccentric Courtney Love and her band, but before she could sign a record deal with any label, she met and married Curt Kobain from the music band Nirvana in late 1992. Courtney instantly went from a potentially successful musician to Kurt Cobain's wife.
Rumors about the couple began circulating faster than ever and their reported drug abuse was worthy of media mention, especially since Courtney was pregnant at the time with their daughter, Frances Bean. Child Protective Services began investigating the couple and luckily their daughter was not taken away from them.
After only a short period of marriage, Courtney's husband's life began spiraling out of control and his drug abuse (allegedly) led him to suicide with a shotgun blast to the head in 1994. It took a while, but Courtney managed to survive through the ordeal and released her new album only one week after her husband's unfortunate death. |
