Learn More About Catherine Bach on Celebrity Nooz
BIRTH DATE: March 1, 1954 in Warren, Ohio
BIRTH NAME: Catherine Bachman
CLAIM TO FAME: She played Daisy Duke on the TV show "Dukes of Hazzard".
FAMILY LIFE: She was married to entertainment lawyer Peter Lopez from 1990 until his death on April 30, 2010 from an apparent suicide. She has two children with him (Sophie and Laura). She was married to David Shaw from 1976-1981 (divorced).
INFO: As soon as Bach finished high school she flew to California to pursue the acting career she'd been dreaming about since seeing her actor uncle, Tony Verdugo, in a stage production. Supporting herself with various day jobs, Bach took dancing lessons, made the audition rounds, and eventually attained a few TV bits and movie roles.
But things took off for her when she was cast in the TV series 'Dukes of Hazzard.' She stayed with Dukes until its cancellation in 1985, even weathering the "siege of 1981," when her costars John Schneider and Tom Wopat left over contract differences and were briefly replaced by two lookalike actors.
Like many 1970s TV stars, Bach found the movie offers, poster contracts, personal appearances and talk-show gigs slowly evaporating as her series faded from the public's memory.
TRIVIA: Cut off denim shorts are sometimes referred to as "Daisy Dukes" as often worn by her character Daisy Duke on "The Dukes of Hazzard."
She once had her legs insured for $1 million dollars.
Her first husband is Angela Lansbury's stepson.
She appeared in the music video and sang in the choir on the song "Voices That Care."
She actually made some of the very clothes she wore on "The Dukes of Hazzard".
Father is German and mother is Mexican.
Has one brother named Philip.
WHERE IS SHE NOW: Since 2012, Bach has been a cast member of the CBS daytime soap opera, The Young and the Restless in the recurring role of Anita Lawson. And, most recently, Bach was a contestant of the Food Network series 'Worst Cooks in America'.
