An excerpt from Time, "The Most Infuential People In America, 1997"

"...The most amazing journey of all was taken by Courtney Love. Last year she was still rocks's open wound. Tread-marked and track-marked, widow of Kurt Cobain and primal scream of the rock band Hole, she was the id other rockers warmed thier instruments against. This year she's Audrey Hepburn. Ok, not quite. But for her sizable performance in The People vs. Larry Flynt in which she played Flynt's formidable and doomed wife Althea, a druggy ex-stripper, Love won the New York Film Critics Circle Award as Best Supporting Actress. Last month the same woman who used to apply lipstick the was toddlers mash crayons was demurely turned out for the Oscars in a chiffon Versace gown. It was the most thorough transformation since Eliza Doolittle met Henry Higgins. If Courtney does become the next Audrey Hepburn, don't say we didn't warn you."
