Her Store
When Danielle’s father, who lived in the Quad Cities of Iowa/Illinois, became ill with Leukemia, she knew she had to move her family to her hometown.
Danielle had to help pay for his medical bills. However, she didn’t want a random soul crushing job, so she opened up her own store that sells antique artwork in her hometown in order to make some money. Danielle has since moved her store to another location in Wicker Park, Chicago.
Her Own Documentary
Needless to say, Danielle Colby has grown used to cameras having been on History Channel’s American Pickers during its entire run of nearly ten years. This could be the reason Danielle decided to make her own documentary, which she based on her own personal hero – burlesque dancer Tempest Storm.
Danielle was drawn by Storm’s strength, kindness, and beauty, and the fact that Storm was able to maintain her self-worth and pride at any age.
