Love, a big fan of Morgen’s 2002 documentary The Kid Stays in the Picture, offered him unrestricted access to the storage facility housing Kurt’s archive of artwork, journals and private recordings. Love, 50, had first approached Morgen about a Kurt documentary in 2007, 13 years after the Nirvana leader took his own life in April 1994 at his home in Seattle. Frances says Love “asked me to see it with her, because she had been putting it off for months and months.” In the screening room, the two sat together on a sofa – Frances in her mother’s lap. Her mother – who set the project in motion eight years ago but had no role in its production – had not. Frances, 22, had already seen Montage of Heck she is an executive producer. Brett Morgen, who wrote, directed and produced the documentary, was also present. Three days before the premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January, Courtney Love, the widow of Nirvana singer-guitarist Kurt Cobain, and Frances Bean Cobain, the couple’s only child, watched the final cut of Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck in a private screening room in Burbank, California.
