Courtney
Love Michelle Cobain
(born July 9, 1964),
better known as Courtney
Love is an American rock
musician and actress,
best-known as lead
singer for the
now-defunct alternative
rock band Hole. Love is
the widow of Kurt Cobain
(1967–1994), lead
singer of the band
Nirvana. With him she
has one daughter,
Frances Bean
Cobain.
Courtney
Love was born Love
Michelle Harrison in
1965 in San Francisco,
California, the daughter
of onetime Grateful Dead
manager and publisher
Hank Harrison and
well-known therapist
Linda Carroll
(née Risi), and
in 1967 had her name
changed to Courtney
Michelle Harrison. She
is thought to have
re-added Love to her own
name later in life.
Love's mother was born
to writer Paula Fox but
given up for adoption to
an Italian American
couple who raised the
(Jewish-born) daughter
Catholic. Many sources
indicate the father of
the child to be Marlon
Brando, making Love's
mother one of his many
unacknowledged
illegitimate children.
Courtney Love spent her
childhood with her
mother as she wandered
through four husbands
and as many hippie
communes in Oregon and
at boarding school in
Nelson, New Zealand.
During a child-custody
case following her
parents' divorce, both
Courtney's mother Linda
and one of her
girlfriends presented
letters to the court
implying he had given a
4-year-old Courtney LSD.
Her father denies this
allegation and has
passed polygraph tests;
however, these
allegations led to full
custody being awarded to
Linda
Carroll.
