Nee Love Michelle Harrison on July 9th, 1965, in San Francisco, California, to parents Linda Caroll, a well-known therapist and Hank Harrison, a publisher, Courtney Love was a free spirit from the get go.
For most of her life, Courtney traveled around with her family living mostly in hippie communes. After receiving a trust fund from her grandmother in 1984, Courtney decided to do a little traveling on her own visiting places such as Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, and Liverpool.
Upon returning to the United States, Courtney began singing in music groups in the Bay Area. Soon enough, she caught the attention of movie director Alex Cox, who cast her in the supporting role of Nancy's best friend in the film, Sid & Nancy. |
