Courtney Love, the legendary frontwoman of the ‘90s grunge rock band Hole, turns 62 today. Love is known as the “queen of grunge,” crowned with the name by Vogue in 2020.
While she was known as one of the most controversial '90s rock stars due to her unpredictable behavior, Love also found success as an actress, earning a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the 1996 film The People vs. Larry Flynt. She was married to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain from 1992 until his death in 1994 and is the mother of Frances Bean Cobain.
Despite her influence on the grunge/alt rock era, Love once told the Washington City Paper she “wasn’t allowed” to be part of grunge.

“History is funny,” she told Interview magazine in a 2019 Q&A. “I would say that Calvin Klein didn’t actually invent slip dresses as outerwear in ’91. I did. At least more than him.”
“I don’t know that I could do it now,” she told Interview. “I don’t feel like the reward for being in a rock band is quite enough. … And right now, unless you’re gonna do the Ariana Grandething, it would be really hard to do. Not that being in a rock band is ever easy, but right now, there just doesn’t seem to be a lot of upside to it.”
