Courtney Love and her success story
Courtney Love (Real name - Courtney Michelle Harrison) was born in San Francisco in 1964. Her family was not prosperous. Courtney's parents were active supporters of the hippie movement, which was gaining popularity in those years. Guests often gathered in their house. The adults consumed alcohol and illegal drugs. When Courtney was 5 years old, her parents divorced. Mom and daughter moved to Oregon and got married a second time. They lived in a hippie commune. Courtney was often teased at school because she didn't look very tidy. Normal hygiene in such conditions could only be dreamed of.
At the age of 14, Courtney was detained for the first time for stealing a T-shirt in a store and for several years she was under the care of the state. From the age of 18 she had to support herself on her own. The girl worked as a DJ, stripper, waitress. She tried living in Ireland and Japan, but then returned to the United States again. In 1985 she was cast for the role in the film "Sid and Nancy". Courtney Love really wanted to play the main role, but she got the role of Nancy's friend. On the set, the aspiring actress was noticed by director Alex Cox and invited her to try her hand at the film "Straight to Hell". After that, Courtney starred in several more films, but even then she began to understand that she was more interested in music. In her youth, she played in a musical group, so the girl decided to try to build a career in this direction. Courtney created the Hole band. In 1991, Hole released their debut album, Pretty on the Inside, which was highly acclaimed by critics. The musical compositions included in the subsequent albums were not so heavy, but the listeners also liked them.
