Montage of Heck brought back fond memories for the Empire guest star. The Brett Morgen-directed film chronicles Love and Cobain’s sweet and tumultuous romance and Cobain’s downfall with his band Nirvana.

“Mostly I got really sad when I watched it before. But, you know, guilt, and what I could have done,” Love said, via Page Six. “I got to spend a little more time with Kurt and Frances,” she added of daughter Frances Bean, 22.

“Me and Kurt only had this one tape…and so we recorded over and over,” she continued. “Everyone makes one sex tape in their life, so we did.”
