Courtney Love (born Love Michelle Harrison on July 9, 1964 in San Francisco, California) was the singer for the now-defunct band Hole. Love is now a solo artist, and is also an occasional model and actress. Love is the widow of Kurt Cobain (1967–1994), lead singer of the band Nirvana. With him she has one daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, whose custody was denied to her in 2003 for drug consumption and other behavior.

The daughter of Grateful Dead manager and publisher Hank Harrison and therapist Linda Carroll, Love spent her childhood with her mother as she wandered through five husbands and as many hippie communes in Oregon and at boarding school in Nelson New Zealand. Love later claimed to have been given LSD as a toddler. Her father denies this and has passed polygraph tests.
