The actress starred as Daisy Duke in the hit series alongside Tom Wopat and John Schneider.
Catherine Bach on the set of the television show, 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' July 1980.
"Here’s the thing — they’ve been looking for a year for that part," Bach recalled on casting the iconic character."They went to New York, Chicago, Atlanta… and California. Nothing. So I said, ‘That’s very nice of you to think of me… but you don’t have to.’ I just didn't think I had a chance. But [show creator Gy Waldron] said, ‘I really want you to come in.’"
"…After I did my reading during the audition, there was total silence," Bach continued."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."
