She also had bit parts in “Cornman: American Vegetable Hero” and “Giantess Battle Attack.”
The young starlet was scheduled to appear at a Vegas Chaos anniversary event on Jan. 27 at The Dive Bar in Las Vegas.
The event was set to feature “gorelesque” performances from Masuimi, Ali, Z Diaboli, and Liilipher.
It is not yet known if the event will proceed in the wake of Max’s death.
