[edit] Career
By the 1980s, Danning was a sex symbol.

Danning even had her own video line in the 1980s called Adventure Video.

In 2007, Danning appeared in the Quentin Tarantino / Robert Rodriguez film Grindhouse in the Rob Zombie-directed segment Werewolf Women of the S.S. as deranged S.S. officer Gretchen Krupp. Danning appeared in Rob Zombie's Halloween as Nurse Wynn which is also a 2007 production.
