Mommy-daughter like was briefly in bloom at the premiere of the new Kurt Cobain documentary at Sundance.
Courtney Like, the late rocker’s widow, and her estranged daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, shared a warm embrace on the red carpet before the tap’s screening Saturday, momentarily quieting some simmering family drama that threatened to sour the much buzzed-about event.
Last week, sources told The News’ Confidenti@l Like and Frances hadn’t spoken for a few years, after an uneasy peace forged in 2012 went downhill.
One insider said people behind events for the HBO tap, on which Frances served as an executive producer, were concerned about a blow up, and that the 22-year-ancient model and artist would have preferred her mom “stayed away when all’s said and done.”
But tensions appeared to have eased Saturday, as Cobain and Like hugged and smiled in front of banks of reporters and cameras.
At one point, Frances, rocking a midriff-bearing purple Moschino number, even put her head on her mom’s shoulder as they posed with the film’s director Brett Morgen. (“The Kid Stays in the Picture”)
