Courtney Love has reflected on her long-running frustration with being compared to the late Marianne Faithfull, saying the two artists “hated” the constant parallels drawn between them.
Speaking in a recent interview with The Times, Courtney explained that she and Swinging Sixties icon Marianne — who died in January 2025 at age 78 — shared mutual respect but rejected the idea that they were cut from the same cloth.
