“It was a lot of fun and it brought me joy to do it...”
“I used to do all sorts of tournaments,” Dan says.
Now she is happy with her strong start in adult but remains focused on her long-term goal—to open her own animal sanctuary.
Dangler already has rescued seven dogs that range from 5 to 85 pounds—and all different breeds from Chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees.
Before adult she worked full time at two different assisted living facilities. In one she cared for elderly patients who were rehabbing from broken bones and in the other she helped residents living with dementia who were an escape risk.
“It was a lot of fun and it brought me joy to do it,” Dan says. “It wasn’t even like a charity. It gave me so much compassion for people.”
Dangler also has her likeness featured on Riley Reid’s Clona.ai platform, which allows creators to generate digital copies of themselves powered by artificial intelligence.
Dan says having her own clone inspires her curiosity.
“I want to know who’s talking to my clone,” she says with a smile. “I want to know what my clone is doing when I’m not around.”
Dangler estimates she’s already done twenty-something studio scenes to go with countless content collabs in the past year.
“I’m grateful, but it’s only the beginning,” Dan tells AVN. “I’m not settling. It’s only going up from here.”
Dangler explains that her memorable stage name—she wanted it to sound like a guy’s—came about after much thought and consideration.
“I stole it from a friend,” Dan says with a laugh. “Their name was Dangler, it was their video game name and I ended up kind of stealing it. It took me an entire month to figure out my name.
“I went crazy into the marketing aspect of it.”
