Daisy Duke actress 71, has barely aged a day as she reunites with Dukes of Hazzard cast 50 years after series debut
DAISY Duke actress Catherine Bach showed off her ageless looks as she reunited with her co-stars 50 years after the series debut.
Catherine, 71, posed alongside Tom Wopat, 73, and John Schneider, 64, at an event in Los Angeles.
The trio were at the A Drive Through Time event at The Hollywood Museum in Los Angeles, which is an ongoing attraction featuring vehicles from classic TV shows including The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard.
Catherine along with Tom, who played Luke Duke and John who was Bo Duke, starred in show for seven seasons from 1979 to 1985.
The original Daisy Dukes actress wore black slim fitted jeans and a matching blouse and patterned jacket.
She wore her brunette tresses in loose waves and added some subtle makeup for the occasion.
The former cast members looked in good spirits as they smiled for photos alongside each other on the red carpet.
The model rose to fame starring in the iconic role as Daisy Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard and made Catherine Bach a household name.
Daisy Duke’s shorts were so iconic that denim hotpants got renamed in the 70s from cutoffs to ‘Daisy Dukes’ thanks to her character’s iconic style.
The actress went onto star in movies Street Justice, Driving Force, Masters of Menace, The Breakup Girl and soap opera The Young and the Restless.
She was last seen on the big screen in 2015’s flick, Book of Fire.
Speaking about wowing the casting directors at her first audition for the hit show, she said: “After I did my reading during the audition, there was total silence.
“I thought, ‘Oh no, they didn’t like what I did.’ Then everyone, we’re talking about 30 people, got up and started clapping.
“They just connected with my vision of how this part should be played. Two weeks later, I was on a plane to Georgia.”
She told CMT News in 2005 about being a bombshell: “I think what made Daisy Duke stand out is that I am a ‘sex symbol’ who never took her clothes off and never had a love scene.”
“I never did anything embarrassing. And by the way, to this day, people know that I’m not going to shock them or surprise them with some crazy thing.
“Somebody’s got to be able to carry the bottom line and have a dignified life and not be crazy. And I guess that’s just gonna be me.”
During the height of her fame, the star made headlines after insuring her legs for $1 million.
She said at the time: “You know what it is? I do things that I shouldn’t really do… I ski.
“I had a plane when I started the series, which they made me get rid of… [I do] a lot of things. And I sort of take chances. So they thought that they should insure my legs.”
Bach made her mark and posed as Daisy Duke for a poster which sold 5 million copies.
The Monk actress married David Shaw (the stepson of Angela Lansbury) in 1976.
The couple divorced in 1981 and Bach went onto marry entertainment lawyer Peter Lopez in 1990, but divorced in 2010.
