She is one of the most iconic female singers in rock history.
And it seems Courtney Love wanted to pay her respects to the Blondie front woman when she saw her at a show opening at a New York gallery tonight.
The Hole singer sauntered over to her 66-year-old friend and gave her a kiss on the head at the Keith Haring: 1978-1982 opening reception at the Brooklyn Museum.

But it seems that, while she accepted the peck with grace, she knows she occupies more prestigious place in rock history than her younger fellow blonde.
For her suitably arty ensemble of gold trousers, shoes and red T-shirt was topped of by a jacket that had US Marines staff sergeant stripes on the right sleeve.
But the punk and New Wave star was not ready to pull rank, and was happy to pose with Courtney.
That was despite the People Vs Larry Flynt star looking less than fragrant in a short cream dress.

But the Heart of Glass star was not the only famous face who was greeted by Kurt Cobain’s widow.
Courtney, 47, was also keen to have a chat with noted artist David LaChapelle, who was one of the other guests of honour.
The fashion and art photographer is still best known to many for his controversial 1995 Kissing Sailors advertisement for Diesel.
The 49-year-old is obviously a fan of the rock singer, as he has previously used her as the subject for a surreal portrait.
