Love’s early life was highly disturbed with her family being separated soon after her birth and followed by divorce of her parents. She had to spend her childhood days mostly in boarding schools and since she could not get the affection of parents; she turned wild and had to be given therapy for emotional and anger problems. She was constantly juggled between the homes of her step father, friends and various reform schools and inevitably, had to travel around the U.S, England and Ireland.
She pursued music and worked as a dancer in many venues. Her music career started as a lead singer of faith no more. She then went on to form bands with Bjelland but parted later on. Both of them started to wear prom dresses, dirty baby doll dresses, plastic hair clips, and smeared make up and ripped stockings.
Love had a liking for prom dress. In 1989, Courtney love taught her to play guitar and set out to form her own band. She, along with Erlandson founded Hole and is the only constant members through the bands history. Her marriage to Kurt Cobain was significant, as it faced stiff opposition from many sides.
Love and Cobain married in 1992 in Honolulu beach and as against a prom dress, love wore a satin and lace dress, once owned by the actress Frances farmer. But two years later, on April 8th Cobain was found killed by a self inflicted shotgun on his head.
She also won laurels for her role in the film the people vs Larry flint and received a golden globe nomination for best actress in a drama. After the disarray of Hole, love worked with photographer David lachapelle appearing on the cover of his book. Her first solo album, America’s sweet heart was released and it was a flop.
A series of health, legal and drug abuse cases haunted her and she lost around 20 million dollars to come out of this mess. Three months later, she recorded her second solo LP, no body’s daughter which was released world wide as a Hole album. Hole performed the late show with David Letterman on April 27th 2010, and Courtney love was interviewed. Though NME reported love had changed her name to Courtney Michelle, it was later denied. Courtney loves life is full of controversies but still she continues to hold the attention of her masses and her fans.
