The most notable abandoned spawn of the virile '80s rocker is Avy Lee Roth, a porn star best known for her roles in Nut Busters 4 and Take It Black. But a Canton woman making a name for herself in the Hollywood horror scene also claims Diamond Dave as her father. She's considering meeting him for the first time when he plays the House of Blues this week.

Brenna Lee Roth sat down with the Free Times between appearances at the Twisted Nightmare horror convention to talk about her dad and how she ended up as the new queen of B movies. She was dressed as Wonder Woman.

Free Times: So how'd it happen?

Brenna Lee Roth: My mom's Russian. She went to a concert. I hear David likes foreign women. It just happened. I've never met him. Maybe his sperm entered my mom at one time. But he didn't raise me. I am friends with Avy Lee Roth, though. She's the most intelligent porn star I've ever met.

FT: How did you land the role of news anchor in the latest Lloyd Kaufman [founder of Troma pictures] movie, Poultrygeist?

BLR: When I was kid, I modeled for Christian Dior and Gap. I went to the Barbizon School of Modeling. Same thing as Katie Holmes. When I got older, I wanted to get into acting. Then I met this kid named Kevin on Myspace. Kevin's an asshole, by the way. But he knew Lloyd, and told him about me. I had no idea who he was, what Troma was, before I did this film. I hate scary movies — they're so scary. But it's cool. I guess Troma has a big following.

FT: Apparently. Your part in Poultrygeist led to more opportunities.

BLR: The Horror Channel saw Poultrygeist and thought I was a good news anchor so they hired me to interview directors and actors at these conventions. I met Wes Craven in New York City. We were sitting in the lobby of some hotel. "What do you do?" I asked him. "I make movies," he said. "That's cool," I told him, "So do I." He's from Collinwood, you know? That blows my mind.

FT: And now, you're appearing in Miami Vice and a movie that might shoot in Cleveland this winter called Max Payne?

BLR: I really can't talk about that or even tell you if that's true. It's top secret. I can tell you I have the lead in The Donut Hole [an independent movie produced by CINEMA Cleveland]. I play a 16-year-old. Her dad rapes her when she is 9. Now she works at this place called the Donut Hole and men fantasize about her, about having sex with her on the counter. It's the best script I've read out of Cleveland. Oh, and I get my tit chopped off in Joe Ostrica's movie [The Horror Convention Massacre].

FT: Do you ever get in trouble with the feminists?

BLR: I don't understand why some people say these movies exploit women. It's not 1950 anymore. Everyone has a choice. It's not like Joe said, "You must climb into that bathtub of gasoline and drown her" — that scene is so cool, so gross, by the way. I mean, I was a producer on that movie. All those women understand it's just entertainment.

FT: What's your acting style? Are you method?

BLR: When I'm working on a film, I just pour my heart into it. It was a little emotional to die in Joe's movie. I put a lot into it. I went and cried afterwards. So, to get a bad review is devastating. Some people didn't like Poultrygeist. But they just didn't get it, you know? It's not supposed to be that serious. I'm not used to it yet. All this happened, like, overnight.

FT: I hear you're dating a local cameraman.

BLR: I'd rather date a crew guy than an actor. Nerds are nicer to girls. I like to kiss him and he makes me giggle.

FT: Any advice for aspiring actors?

BLR: If you go to college and then go to LA, you'll be one up on everyone else out there. Go to college first. And don't do porn. I don't have to do porn because I'm pretty. I can entertain people with my smile. [At that moment, a man dressed as Boba Fett walks by, eyeing Lee Roth through his dark visor.] I like wearing this outfit because boys smile at me and don't know what to say.
