After a tumultuous upbringing, Love had made her debut into the entertainment industry with a supporting role in Alex Cox's 1986 biopic Sid and Nancy, and later transitioned into music, forming the band Hole in 1989. Hole released three studio albums throughout the 1990s, including the acclaimed Live Through This (1994) and the Grammy-nominated Celebrity Skin (1998). Love continued her position as lead singer for Hole in various incarnations until 2002, when the group disbanded. After releasing a commercially unsuccessful solo album in 2004, Love re-formed Hole with new members in 2009.
She has also occasionally taken film roles throughout her career, including parts in Basquiat (1996), Trapped (2002), Man on the Moon (1999), as well as a major role in The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996), which garnered her a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Althea Flynt.
Additionally, Love has attracted significant media attention over the years for her wild behavior and candid treatment of her grapples with drug addiction. Rolling Stone called Love "the most controversial woman in the history of rock."
