11 Things You Didn't Know About Frances Bean Cobain
As creative as Kurt, as crazy as Courtney.
This week sees the release of Montage of Heck, the long-awaited no-holds-barred documentary about the life and death of Kurt Cobain. Naturally, interest in the Nirvana frontman has once again sparked into life, with new and returning fans wishing only there was some way they could have their questions answered. Except this time there is. At the helm of the film is Kurt's only child, Frances Bean Cobain, who not only has a co-executive producer credit to her name, but is taking on the bulk of the press and publicity work. For the first time since his death, the face looking back at Nirvava fans is a familiar one. But who exactly is Frances? Despite the global status of her parents she's grown up on her own terms away from the limelight, working on quiet projects and under fake names, all while sitting on her father's daunting fortune. She's worked in art, modelling, fashion, journalism, and now filmmaking, but rarely has the lens pointed back at her until now. At just 22 years of age there's not too much trouble she could have got in or ground she could have broken, but nonetheless the quiet life of Frances Bean Cobain is one that's as interesting as it is surprising. What else did you expect from the offspring of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.
