Life and career

Early life

Courtney Michelle Harrison was born Love Michelle Harrison in San Francisco, California to a family of Irish and Jewish descent.^[3] She regards herself as "a nice Jewish girl".^[4] Love’s biological family broke apart rapidly while she was still very young. During a child custody case following Love’s parents’ divorce, both her mother and one of her girlfriends presented letters to the court implying her father had given the child, then three years old, LSD.^[5] Harrison denies this allegation^[6] and has passed polygraph tests; however, these allegations led to full custody being awarded to Love’s mother.

Love then spent a troubled childhood with her mother as she wandered through three husbands and as many hippie communes in Oregon, and various schools including Nelson College for Girls in New Zealand where she boarded.^[7] Before arriving in New Zealand, Love had been left in the United States with a therapist, while her mother, the new husband and her half-sisters went on ahead; when she was sent for, Love was sent to the boarding school in Nelson.^[5] For the British TV show, see Hippies (TV series). ...

While in boarding school, Love wrote poetry, joined a Bay City Rollers fan club, and, at the age of 12 (once back in the U.S., ostensibly), applied to join the Mickey Mouse Club;^[8] she was rejected after reading a poem by Sylvia Plath at the audition.^[9] The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish Pop/rock band of the 1970s. ...

At 16, Love emancipated herself from her family and traveled around the U.S., England and the Republic of Ireland, living on a trust fund established for her by her mother’s adoptive parents.^[10] During her time in England, Love met, befriended, and moved into the Toxteth, Liverpool, home of musician Julian Cope of The Teardrop Explodes, and became a regular face at rock shows. In his autobiography Head-On, Cope doesn’t use her name, but refers to her as “the adolescent”.^[11]^[12] For other uses, see Emancipation (disambiguation). ...

Eventually, she headed back to the United States, ending up in Portland, Oregon, still avidly pursuing music. Love supported herself by working as a stripper.^[13] Love’s first rock-musician boyfriend was Rozz Rezabek of the Portland band Theatre of Sheep, who had an affair with her while she was still underage. Though the two wrote each other copious love letters, Love has said in many interviews that he did not take her virginity; she claims her first sexual encounter was a one-night stand with Michael Mooney, a guitarist for Echo & the Bunnymen and later with Julian Cope and Spiritualized.^[14] Nickname: Location of Portland in Multnomah County and the state of Oregon Coordinates: , Country State Counties Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas Incorporated February 8, 1851 Government - Type Commission - Mayor Tom Potter[1] - Commissioners Sam Adams Randy Leonard Dan Saltzman Erik Sten - Auditor Gary Blackmer Area - City 145. ...

Early musical career

Love began her professional music career with a brief stint as the lead singer of Faith No More. Keyboardist Roddy Bottum described the band at the time as “democratic”, saying that Love’s dominating personality did not fit in. The two artists have remained friends, working together recently in 2005 on a track for the film Adam & Steve. FNM redirects here. ...

At age 22, Love moved back to Portland, then on to Los Angeles in 1987 with fellow musician Kat Bjelland, beginning a period in which Love would form bands with Bjelland only to be ousted by her from each. The pair first formed a band in L. A. with Jennifer Finch called Sugar Baby Doll (alternately Sugar Babylon).^[15] During this time Love and Bjelland began to dress alike, wearing dirty Babydoll dresses, plastic girl’s hair clips, ripped stockings and overdone, often smeared makeup. An argument between the two raged over who had come up with their signature style, later dubbed Kinderwhore. Love claimed that she took the style from Christina Amphlett of 1980s Australian rock group, Divinyls, in an interview in the Los Angeles fanzine Ben Is Dead.^[16] Kat Bjelland (Katherine Bjelland, born December 8, 1963) was the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band Babes in Toyland. ...

Love and Bjelland later formed a band called The Pagan Babies in San Francisco, with Deidre Schletter on drums and Janis Tanaka on bass.^[17] The band recorded a demo of four tracks, then ejected Love and renamed themselves Italian Whorenuns. Lastly, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bjelland started what ultimately would become her longest-running band, Babes in Toyland. Love briefly played bass, but was kicked out of this group as well.^[18] Love had more early success as an actress, appearing as the best friend of Nancy Spungen in Alex Cox’s Sid Vicious biopic Sid and Nancy in 1986, and in Cox’s Straight to Hell in 1987, as well as some small roles on television episodes.

In 1989, Love taught herself to play guitar and set out to form her own band. To do so, she placed an ad in an issue of Flipside, to which Eric Erlandson replied. Love and Erlandson co-founded Hole and are the only two members to remain constant throughout the band’s history. The group made their first gig in November 1989, after three months of rehearsal, and quickly started releasing singles on the Long Beach, California, independent label Sympathy for the Record Industry. The band’s debut album Pretty on the Inside was released in early 1991 on Caroline Records and was produced by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon and Don Fleming of the band Gumball. It sold well for an independent release and received ecstatic reviews in the influential British alternative music press.^[19] During this period, she befriended many influential figures in the alternative rock scene, including Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins (whom she briefly dated).^[20] Flipside was a punk rock fanzine published in Los Angeles, California from 1977 - 2001. ...

Marriage

Love met Kurt Cobain on January 12, 1990, in Portland, Oregon’s Satyricon club^[21] before fame hit, when the two singers still led underground rock bands.^[22] Love made advances afterwards, but Cobain was evasive. Early in their courtship Cobain broke off dates and ignored Love’s advances because he wasn’t sure he wanted to consummate their relationship. Cobain noted, “I was determined to be a bachelor for a few months [...] But I knew that I liked Courtney so much right away that it was a really hard struggle to stay away from her for so many months.”^[23] Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 â€“ c. ... is the 12th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Love lived a block away from the Los Angeles apartment complex where the band resided during the recording of their second album, Nevermind. Love would stop by often, later saying, “We bonded over pharmaceuticals.”^[24] They would hook up again in May 1991 at a Butthole Surfers concert.

Love and Cobain were married on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii, on February 24, 1992. Cobain allegedly married Love in his pyjamas, because he’d been “too lazy to put on a tux”. Six months later, on August 18 of that year, the couple’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, was born.

On April 8, 1994, four days before the release of Hole’s album Live Through This, Kurt Cobain’s body was found in his Seattle, Washington home, killed by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to his head. Two days later, mourning fans assembled at a memorial service in Seattle. During the memorial, a recording was played of Love reading from Cobain’s suicide note, as she felt portions were addressed to his fans. In the message, Love interrupted the note frequently to express her anger and extreme sorrow, telling Cobain that, if he hated it so much, he should just “quit being a rock star”. At one point, Love asks everyone at the memorial to call Cobain an “asshole”; on the recording from that day, one can hear the crowd obey. Finally, Love implored Nirvana fans not to listen to Cobain’s final words, “it’s better to burn out than fade away,” a lyric taken from Neil Young’s “My My, Hey Hey”.

Live Through This tour (1994)

The band was struck by disaster again when bassist Kristen Pfaff died of an apparent heroin overdose on June 16, 1994, just two months after Cobain’s death and the new album’s release.^[25] A few months later, Love told MTV’s Kurt Loder, “You know ... people go back to work. This is what I do. I gotta make a living.” Hole recruited 22-year-old bassist Melissa Auf der Maur (on Corgan’s recommendation) to fill in for Pfaff, and took Hole on the road, appearing at the Reading Festival in England.

Celebrity Skin era (1996–2000)

Love received considerable acclaim for her role as Larry Flynt’s wife, Althea, in Miloš Forman’s 1996 film The People vs. Larry Flynt, opposite Woody Harrelson as Flynt. She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Drama and a New York Film Critics Circle Award for best supporting actress.

In 1998, Hole released Celebrity Skin. Rolling Stone gave the album four out of a possible five stars, saying “the album teems with sonic knockouts that make you see all sorts of stars. It’s accessible, fiery and intimate—often at the same time. Here is a basic guitar record that’s anything but basic.”^[29] Celebrity Skin went on to go multi-platinum, and topped “Best of Year” lists at Spin, the Village Voice, and other periodicals.^[30] Erlandson was still the lead guitarist, and now there were Melissa Auf der Maur’s backup vocals and bass, but drummer Patty Schemel was replaced by a session drummer during the recording.^{[citation needed]} This article is about an album. ...

Around this time, Love created with Fender’s low-price sub-brand Squier her personal line of guitars, Vista Venus^[31] (as Cobain did in 1994, doing the design of his Fender Jag-Stang). The instrument featured a shape inspired by Mercury, Stratocaster and Rickenbacker’s solidbodies and had a single-coil and a humbucker pickup. In an early 1999 interview, Love said about the Venus: “I wanted a guitar that sounded really warm and pop, but which required just one box to go dirty (...) And something that could also be your first band guitar. I didn’t want it all teched out. I wanted it real simple, with just one pickup switch. Because I think that cultural revolutions are in the hands of guitar players”. She also declared, “my Venus is better than the Jag-Stang”.^[32] The Squier Vista Venus model is currently discontinued, as is the Jag-Stang as of 2006. Fender redirects here. ...

Hole toured Australia in 1999 to support the album, then hit the U.S. on an ultimately failed co-headlining tour with Marilyn Manson. The two bands often mocked each other on stage.^[33] Hole eventually dropped off the tour, citing their obligation to pay 50% of Manson’s staging costs as a major reason. The singers of both bands told MTV there was no personal animosity, and they were happy to end the tour.

In May 2000, Love spoke in New York at the Digital Hollywood online entertainment conference, giving a speech criticizing the major American record labels. The speech was then reproduced on the news site Salon.com,^[35] and was, at the time, their most popular article to date.^{[citation needed]} In the speech, Love accused the major labels of devising a corrupt system of recording contracts to make the labels millions, while the band itself “may as well be working at a 7-Eleven.” Digital Hollywood is a trade conference covering the fields of film, television, music, home video, cable, telecommunications and computer industries. ...

With Hole fallen into disarray, Love attempted to begin a “punk rock femme supergroup” called Bastard during summer/autumn of 2001, enlisting Schemel, Veruca Salt frontwoman Louise Post, and bassist Gina Crosley, whom Post recommended. Though a demo was completed, the project never reached fruition: conflicts between Love and Crosley, then between Love and replacement bassist Corey Parks from Nashville Pussy, reportedly led to the group’s demise.^[36]^[37] On May 24, 2002, Hole announced their breakup amid continuing litigation with Universal Music Group.

Health, Drug Abuse and Legal Issues

In 1992, while unknowing carrying Kurt Cobain’s child, Love admitted to taking heroin, and other drugs. This led to media questioning her on whether Frances was born addicted to drugs. Several specialists deemed the pair unsuitable parents, and a legal battle was initiated, in which Cobain and Love both fought for custody of their daughter. After several months on the legal warpath, both were granted full custody of Frances. Since 1996, Love has faced numerous legal disputes, trials and jail terms. On October 2, 2003, Love was arrested in Los Angeles while breaking several windows to enter her then-boyfriend, manager and producer Jim Barber’s home. Barber did not press charges (Love says she had paid for the home), but the police charged her with being under the influence of a controlled substance.^[38] Released on bail, just four hours later Love was rushed to a hospital to be treated for an accidental overdose of Oxycontin.^[39] Eight days later, on October 10, Frances Bean was taken by the L. A. County Department of Children and Family Services and placed with Wendy O’Connor, Cobain’s mother.^[40] Authorities then ordered a 72-hour hospital evaluation of Love’s health, but she walked from the facility, claiming she was ready to head directly to rehab. When Love didn’t attend, her lawyer issued a statement that they may move to have the police department’s toxicology reports re-examined. In public appearances, Love protested her arrest, denying all charges, describing the drugs found on her as “one expired Percocet and one Ambien”. The police report, however, alleged possession of Oxycontin and Hydrocodone without prescription.^[41] Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 â€“ c. ...

In 2003, Love pleaded not guilty to felony drug charges related to possession of painkillers. In February 2004, an arrest warrant was issued for Love after she failed to appear at a preliminary hearing. The warrant was subsequently rescinded when she appeared in court on February 18. She released her first solo album, America’s Sweetheart, just eight days earlier. The album was a commercial flop and received a mixed reaction from critics. Spin called it a “jawdropping act of artistic will”, while Rolling Stone proclaimed that, “for people who enjoy watching celebrities fall apart, America’s Sweetheart should be more fun than an Osbournes marathon.” The record was re-recorded and finished while Love was either fresh from or still undergoing drug rehab, and in its first three months the album sold about 86,000 copies, according to Nielsen Soundscan.^[42] During this same period, an estimated $20 million of money belonging to Love and her daughter was apparently siphoned off in a case that is still being investigated by the FBI.^[43] “It was my hell time. I was doing cocaine and had incredible financial trouble. $20 million was stolen from us and at the time I couldn’t do the math very well. So I took this drug to help me. It turned out the crazy math was real. The FBI looked at the paperwork and saw $1.2 million to the UK, $180,000 to Nice. It was the former boyfriend and the two assistants. They had power of attorney and they purchased property. They started in about 2000 without me knowing and I got more out of it. I think they thought she will die.

In early 2004, just as she had completed her first batch of songs, Love contacted ex-Hole drummer Samantha Maloney asking her to fly to France (after drummer Patty Schemel departed for the second time) and add drums to Love’s otherwise complete solo debut, America’s Sweetheart. Returning to the States, Maloney was put in charge of assembling Love’s live band. After a world wide search and countless auditions Maloney reconnected with guitarist Radio Sloan, found guitarist Lisa Leveridge, bassist Dvin Kirakosian,^[53] and the four women formed the core of Love’s backing band.

Family history

Love’s mother Linda Carroll was adopted by an Italian-American couple at birth, retaining no contact with her birth father or her birth mother, whom she later discovered was the well-known children’s writer Paula Fox (herself also adopted).

Conflicting news stories began to appear in August 2003 regarding Love’s family tree, some of them remarking that Love’s mother had taken DNA tests, and that the results proved that Carroll’s father was actor Marlon Brando. The news reports implied this disclosure would appear in Carroll’s then-forthcoming memoir. Later that month, however, a spokeswoman for Carroll’s publisher, Doubleday, told the New York Daily News, “There was nothing in Linda Carroll’s book proposal about Marlon Brando, nor will there be anything in the book about him. I’ve spoken to her and she has told me that there is no truth to the suggestion that she is related to Marlon Brando.”^[66]^[67] The structure of part of a DNA double helix Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a nucleic acid molecule that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. ...

^ Although some sources give Love’s birth name as “Love Michelle Harrison”, her listing on the California Birth Index from the Center for Health Statistics gives a birth name of “Courtney Michelle Harrison”. Between adoptions from several stepfathers, she has also gone by the names “Courtney Michelle Rodriguez” and “Courtney Michelle Menely”. The name change to “Courtney Michelle Love” happened in early 1990s, in the beginning of her musical career and after the end of her first marriage (of which the legal records still feature the name “Courtney Michelle Menely”). According to the same statistics list above, the birth status of Courtney’s 1992 born daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, already include “Love” as the mother’s maiden surname.
