}} Courtney Michelle Love (born Courtney Michelle Harrison, July 9, 1964) is an American alternative rock singer, songwriter, actress, and visual artist. Prolific in the punk and grunge scenes of the 1990s as the frontwoman of Hole, Love became a fixture in alternative music, drawing public attention for her uninhibited stage presence and confrontational lyrics, as well as her highly publicized personal life following her marriage to Kurt Cobain. The daughter of psychotherapist Linda Carroll and Hank Harrison, Love had a nomadic early life; she mainly grew up in Oregon and California, where she was in a series of short-lived bands before landing roles in films by British cult director Alex Cox. After forming Hole in 1989, she received substantial attention from underground rock press for the group's debut album, produced by Kim Gordon, while their second release, ''Live Through This'' (1994), lent her a more high-profile renown, receiving critical accolades and going multi-platinum. In 1995, she returned to acting, earning a Golden Globe Award nomination for her performance in Miloš Forman's ''The People vs. Larry Flynt'' (1996). Shortly after, Hole's third release, ''Celebrity Skin'' (1998), earned Love recognition as a mainstream musician, and was nominated for multiple Grammy Awards. Love continued to work as an actress, appearing in big-budget pictures such as ''Man on the Moon'' (1999) and ''Trapped'' (2002), and released her first solo album, ''America's Sweetheart'', in 2004. In 2010, she released ''Nobody's Daughter'' under the Hole moniker with a reformed band. Love debuted a new solo single in early 2014, and also saw a return to acting after appearing on multiple TV series, including ''Empire''. She was also cast in James Franco's ''The Long Home'' (2016). In 2015, Love toured as the opening act for Lana Del Rey's Endless Summer Tour. In addition to music and film, Love has had ventures in modeling and visual art, and has advocated for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, AIDS research, and LGBT rights. She has one daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, from her marriage to Kurt Cobain. == Early life == Love was born Courtney Michelle Harrison on July 9, 1964 in San Francisco. Her mother, Linda Carroll (née Risi), was an employee at the UC San Francisco Hospital, and her father, Hank Harrison, was a publisher and road manager for the Grateful Dead.〔 ()〕 Love's mother had been adopted as a child, and was later revealed to be the biological daughter of novelist Paula Fox and an unidentified father, who is rumored to be Marlon Brando.

Love is of Cuban, Welsh, Irish, German, and English descent. Love spent her early years in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco until her parents' 1969 divorce, after which her father's custody was withdrawn when her mother alleged that he had fed LSD to Love as a toddler. Love described her parents' household as being full of "hairy, wangly-ass hippies running around naked." According to sources, Love's mother, who was studying to be a psychologist, had Love in therapy by the age of two. In 1970, her mother moved the family to the rural community of Marcola, Oregon where they lived on a commune, and her mother finished her degree at the University of Oregon. During this time, Love's mother came into an inheritance through her adoptive parents, who were heirs to the Bausch & Lomb eye care fortune. Love was legally adopted by her then-stepfather, Frank Rodriguez, with whom her mother had Love's two half-sisters and adopted a brother; another male half-sibling died in infancy of a heart defect when Love was ten.〔"Courtney Love".
