MARLON BRANDO Is COURTNEY LOVE's Grandfather

August 13, 2003

GQ magazine's U.K. web site is reporting today that Marlon Brando is the unexpected grandfather of former HOLE frontwoman Courtney Love. The widow of Kurt Cobain has just discovered this tidbit of info from her mother, psychologist Linda Carroll, who has taken DNA tests to confirm she is the star's daughter. A flabbergasted Love said: "I am incredibly shocked by this news. I have heard Mr. Brando has more than 30 children so I can't imagine how many cousins I have." Apparently, Linda's mother, novelist Paula Fox, met Brando in the 1940s, and the two enjoyed a brief romance. Brando has 11 acknowledged children, although is thought to have many more, and it is entirely probable that the 79-year-old recluse doesn't know about Linda, who was given up for adoption.
