Catherine Bach Picture 5

Biography

Catherine was born on March 1, 1954 in Warren, Ohio. She is best known for her role as Daisy Duke.

Nevertheless, Bach did grow weary of being a sex symbol, an image with which she was never comfortable. "The whole time that Dukes of Hazzard was on the air, I didn't have one mirror in my house, not even to brush my teeth. I guess it might sound a little strange, but every time I went to work I had to look at myself and I got sick of it. So I took every mirror out of my house for some time."

In fact, her desire to break free from her Dukes of Hazzard fame reached the point where she took a trip to China, believing no one would recognize her there. "I figured they don't have Dukes of Hazzard in China. So I get to China. I went to the hotel, checked in. And what did I hear in the lobby of the hotel? 'Just good ol' boys...' And I'm saying, 'Oh, my God! I'm in China! I can't believe I'm hearing Waylon Jennings on the TV!'"

Bach costarred with Robert Mitchum for three seasons in African Skies (1992-1994).

She and her husband, Peter Lopez (an entertainment lawyer who, among other things, manages musician Glenn Frey), make their home in Los Angeles with their two-year-old daughter.
