Catherine Bach is a TV legend thanks to her role as Daisy Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard, but she looks even better in 2026 than she did back in the ’70s and ’80s.
Bach, 72, rose to stardom on the program, which had her character hanging with cousins Bo and Luke (played by Tom Wopat and John Schneider) on a Georgia farm. The show ran from 1979 to 1985 on CBS, and went down in history as a fan favorite. But as Bach has navigated dramatic health issues in recent years, it’s great to see the brunette beauty looking better than ever in a new selfie. With the same luscious locks and bright smile, Bach smiled for the camera and made it clear she’s back and better than ever.
Bach’s Co-Stars Rallied Around Her During Her Health Issues
Last year, Bach was hospitalized due to an embolism that developed after surgery, Parade reported. Wopat, who played Luke Duke, shared a sweet throwback photo of the duo and expressed his love for his former co-star.
“Tom and the Wopat Webcrew are sending our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Catherine Bach, who was recently hospitalized. Wishing her comfort and a full, speedy recovery. ❤️,” Wopat captioned the photo.
Schneider, who played Bo Duke, took to Facebook to express similar sentiments.
“Attention, Dukes of Hazzard family! I just texted Catherine, and thankfully, she responded right away,” Schneider wrote. “Yes, she is in the hospital, but she assures me that she is going to be fine. She appreciates all our prayers and support and is truly disappointed not to be traveling this weekend. We love you, Catherine!”
While the stars of Dukes met decades ago on the fan favorite show, they’ve managed to stay close throughout the years, maintaining a strong bond that’s navigated many ups and downs.
“It never occurred to us that we weren’t going to be friends for life,” Schneider told Fox News in April. “I’ve met other people from other shows, and particularly other bands… there’s a lot of bands that can’t stand one another. I couldn’t imagine a life without Tom Wopat being one of my best friends, without Catherine Bach being one of my best friends. It couldn’t possibly exist.”
