Before becoming a rock star's wife, Love tried to become a stripper but was rejected for being 'too fat'.

But her marriage to Kurt and their penchant for hardcore narcotics had a major effect on their lives. Yet Kurt's death didn't change Courtney, who went on to star in The People Vs Larry Flint and Man On The Moon.

Studio insurance companies however, would not insure the actress. For Larry Flint, Ed Norton and co. had to put up the cash and gave their word that Love would behave.

She did – but, more recently, Love was charged with assaulting a fan at a gig with a microphone stand. On another occasion, a woman at a party accused Love of assault with a bottle and plastic and torch.

The repeated failure to turn up in court led to Love being handcuffed to a stretcher while being taken to hospital on her 40th birthday. Classy bird that Love.
