Cobain’s ashes
Tragically, Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994 temporarily eclipsed her music career.
In the months that followed, Love mostly stayed out of the public eye, spending time at home with friends and family. Cobain’s remains were cremated, and Love divided his ashes — some were kept in a teddy bear, while others were placed in an urn. In June, she traveled a Buddhist Monastery in Ithaca, New York, where Buddhist monks performed a ceremonial blessing for his ashes.
After The People vs. Larry Flynt was released, Love began dating her co-star Edward Norton, and the two were together until 1999.
Meanwhile, Hole’s third album, Celebrity Skin, snagged three Grammy nominations, cementing her status in the music world.
Through the early 2000s, she continued acting in films like Man on the Moon and Trapped, before diving back into music with her first solo album, America’s Sweetheart (2004).
However, the next few years were rocky — legal battles and a relapse led to a mandatory rehab stint in 2005.
Between 2014 and 2015, The Man on the Moon actress dropped a couple of solo singles and returned to acting in hit series like Sons of Anarchy and Empire. On top of that, she explored her creative side as a writer, co-creating three volumes of the manga Princess A and penning her candid memoir, Dirty Blonde.ù
