Courtney Love

Studio 360

Rock star, movie actress, widow of Kurt Cobain — Courtney Love has had a number of labels over the years. At 43, she is trying to put all that hard living behind her. Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love is a scrapbook of journal entries, letters, photos and scribbled lyrics. Love told Trey Kay that she wanted to share what she’s been through without smoothing the rough edges into anything like a memoir.
