Courtney Love: Frances Cobain was supposed to play Bella in Twilight Saga!

Courtney Love, widow of Curt Cobain and mother of 17 year old Frances Bean Cobain, says her teenage daughter was the one to play Bella Swan in the super popular Twilight Saga franchise but she turned down the offer because didn’t want to mess with all this Hollywood stuff.

Frances Cobain was offered both parts of Bella in Twilight and Alice in Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland but rejected them because she “doesn’t want to be famous.”

Frances is so beautiful, but she doesn’t want to be famous. She wants to go to college – she’s very good at graphic novels,” Courtney Love said.

According to Love, Frances is afraid global superstardom could kill her just like it happened with her rocker dad Curt Cobain who committed suicide in 1994 shortly after she was born.

Well, I definitely see Frances as Bella but there’s now ay I can imagine her as Alice. You?

Kristen Stewart and Mia Wasokowsky should both say thank you to Frances!

   That chubby little monster with no acting experience? Take over for Kristin Stewart? Not in this lifetime. The one with the talent was her dad. Im afraid Frances took after her mom.

   I think she’s gorgeous- and not fat at all. I never pictured Bella to look like K. Stewart, Frances is much closer. And why can’t you imagine her to play Alice? Because she doesn’t look like Disney’s little blonde version? I think she would have been excellent. :)

   Really? You couldn’t even Google Kurt’s name to get the proper spelling?

   I think Courtney must have taken a higher dose this time. Catherine Hardwicke have gone hunting for Stewart in her Adventure Land set, and let her friend Melissa to rewrite the script after it was muddled by Fox. I don’t know why Fox was mentioned in Time’s Hardwicke interview, BUT Catherine knew all along that Kristen was the perfect Bella.

   Martine, no acting experience is actually REQUIRED in Twilight cos all they have to do is just keep on saying crap like ‘I know the consequences of being a shithead like me’
   And no one cares if Bella was ‘fat’, cos the only fans of Twilight are squealy little girls that watch the movies only to see Jacob or Edward or whoever it is stripping like a bitch.

   Ok, here’s what I think:
   1. This lovely girl, Ms. Cobain, is far from fat (I don’t see how you would even think that to be honest).
   2. She would have been a perfect fit for Bella after the vampire thing (I mean, she’s not average enough for pre-vampire Bella).
   3. In the origional book Alice in Wonderland, the only description of Alice was that she didn’t have curly, dark hair. Straight dark hair fits the bill, so she could be Alice.

   she’s not fat, she’s regular size! I thing she would’ve been great as Bella cause she looks really misterious, very different young lady. it wouldve been interesting! % she’s also cute in a “dark” kind of way, which fits both alice e bellas. Kristen is cute too, so…. guess it doesnt matter :)

   I Think She Might’ve Been A Good Alice , But As For All The Twilight This And That , I Personally ONLY Watch For Jacob . And She Probably Would’ve Been A Great Bella . Kristen Stewart Urks Me .
   Shes Not Fat Either , Shes A Good Size And Unlike Any Other Stars She Doesn’t Starve Herself .

    here the thing she will always be famous no matter what she does because of her parnets both parnets were in the music business but in a way she scare to be a superstar because she could end up like her dad I do not see her end up like her dad because she has her head on her shoulders,she has a good heart
