Frances Bean Cobain Almost Starred In This Iconic Teen Franchise

Frances Bean Cobain's mom told Howard Stern on his May 30, 2013 show something astonishing about which movie franchise hoped to get the then-13-year-old Frances (via ET). Somebody associated with the film wanted Kurt Cobain's daughter to play the role of Bella Swan in the "Twilight" franchise. Love told Stern, "Someone just saw a picture of her in a magazine and sent me the script for 'Twilight.'" Instead of Kristen Stewart snagging the role and becoming a massive star, Frances could have been the one who rose to instant stardom. However, Love didn't want becoming a child movie star to ruin her daughter's life.

According to The Cut, Love revealed that her daughter called the script "a sexist, Mormon, piece of s***." Ultimately, Frances turned it down, which paved the way for Stewart, who went on to have an extensive career, including starring in an upcoming role in a film as Princess Diana. There's no denying that the entire cast of the "Twilight" saga could have looked a lot different without Stewart portraying Bella.
