Catherine Bach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catherine Bach (born Catherine Bachman on March 1, 1954) is an American actress. She is best known for playing Daisy Duke in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard and for playing Margo Dutton in African Skies.
One of Catherine's first film roles was as Melody in the 1974 film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
Catherine became a TV icon when, unhappy with the wardrobe provided for her Daisy Duke character, she fashioned short shorts from a pair of jeans. Thanks to the actress and her character, the term "Daisy Dukes" is now synonymous in popular vernacular with cut off denim jean shorts. Over 5 million copies of her now famous "Daisy Duke" poster have been sold.
Catherine was born in Warren, Ohio, to a South Dakota-born father (Bachman) who was in the US Air Force and a Mexican mother. She spent part of her teen years in South Dakota, where she visited her grandparents in Faith, South Dakota, and graduated from high school in Rapid City, South Dakota.
She married David Shaw in 1976, but the couple divorced in 1981. Catherine maried Peter Lopez in August 1990. They have 2 children.
For years she had to keep telling people that she is not the younger sister of Bond girl actress and model Barbara Bach (who's real name is Goldbach).[citation needed]
She is currently in talks to pen her memoirs.
