Page "Courtney Love" Paragraph 8

She intermittently took classes at Portland State University studying English, as well as San Francisco State University and the San Francisco Art Institute, where she took a film class taught by George Kuchar and starred in one of his short films.

Love began a budding acting career in the late 1980s, landing roles in two Alex Cox films ( Sid and Nancy and Straight to Hell ), but was ultimately dissatisfied with it and returned to stripping, where she was recognized and photographed by customers at a bar in McMinnville, Oregon.

Love then retreated to Anchorage, Alaska for several months where she continued to strip to support herself.
