Courtney Love Wallpaper Biography
Source(google.com.pk)The daughter of The Grateful Dead devotee and first manager Hank Harrison and psychotherapist Linda Caroll, Courtney Love was born Courtney Michelle Harrison in San Francisco, California in 1964. Love spent her early years living in hippie communes in Oregon and at schools in Europe and New Zealand, under the care of her mother and other family members.By age 16, Love became legally emancipated and traveled throughout Europe, living off of a small trust fund left behind by her grandmother. Love eventually returned to Portland, Oregon, still pursuing music, and then moved around to various locations in the United States before making her break into the industry.As a musician, she played in early incarnations of Babes In Toyland and Faith No More, as well as acting in bit parts for some Alex Cox films. In 1989, she started her own band, Hole, and in 1992 married Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, giving birth to their daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, that same year. After Cobain's suicide in 1994, and the release of Hole's second album "Live Through This", Love continued to thrill her fans and enrage her detractors with her on- and off-stage antics.
By 1998, Hole had released their third studio album, "Celebrity Skin", and Love had attracted cinematic notoriety for her performance in The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996), which not only garnered her a Golden Globe nomination, but recognition as a serious performer.Early into the millennium, Hole broke up, and Love took some supporting roles in films such as Trapped (2002), but her rocky past and propensity toward drug addiction eventually caught up with her, sending her through a whirlwind of numerous health and legal issues.After unsuccessful stints in and out of drug rehabilitation centers, Love was ordered by the L.A. county court to three months in lock down rehab, which came to an end in 2006. Love soon after released a scrapbook-like diary recounting her life, titled "Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love", and continued writing music, testifying her sobriety to the press and public.
In 2009, after losing custody of daughter Frances Bean Cobain for unrelated reasons, Love re-formed Hole with an entirely new lineup, and soon after released the band's first album in ten years, titled "Nobody's Daughter".
Love's admirable progress in her battle against addiction would not be enough to prevent her losing custody of Frances once again in 2009. Returning to her paternal grandmother, those close to the situation asserted that the 17-year-old's separation from Love had been of her own choosing. At about the same time, Love escalated her public statements about a massive fraud committed against her and Cobain's estate, claiming that she had been bilked out of hundreds of millions of dollars since 2003 due to identity theft, credit card forgery and a myriad of other byzantine manipulations by unscrupulous, unnamed parties. After an abandoned solo follow-up to America's Sweetheart, which was to be titled How Dirty Girls Get Clean, Love reformed Hole with an all-new line up for the release of the album Nobody's Daughter in 2010. Greeted with mixed reviews and poor sales, Hole's first recording in 12 years was considered one of the year's biggest disappointments. The subject of a lengthy story in Vanity Fair magazine in November 2011, Love was seen dividing her mercurial attentions between uncovering the conspiracy she referred to as "the fraud," insinuating herself into British high society and grieving over the continued estrangement from her daughter. At the same time, Love announced she would write her memoirs and lay wide open the truths of her storied life and career.
