Who reads the paper any more I don't! Generally If Courtney causally says in passing "Gee isn't tan great for Autumn" It's usually international headlines by morning. She is the master of the sound byte bar none! Right now she is in the headlines because of her position on the internet music thing as she is for it. And is also famous for the degree in which she has reinvented herself. Her deceased husband Kurt Cobain is the John Lennon nee Jimi Hendrix of the 90's but if you are like me you have no idea what his music sounds like, or Courtneys for that matter. Grunge and Leica are not famously compatible combinations. She has been in several films and has several CD's with her band "Hole" which are a critical and commercial success. If you look at a magazine rack she'll be on one of them. Was famously pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair and got through that. http://us.imdb.com/Name?Love,+Courtney Actress - filmography 1.Darker Saints (2000) 2.Julie Johnson (2000) ....
