Best known for playing Daisy Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard, actress Catherine Bach recently revealed that she’s on the mend following what she called a “serious” health scare.
The 72-year-old celeb shared an update with People on November 9 during the Cure Addiction’s third annual Fundraising Evening, saying, “I’m good…Everything’s on the up and up.”
Bach continued, explaining, “It was very serious. Yeah, it was a very serious situation.” What was the “very serious situation?” The Dukes of Hazzard alum is referring to complications from a 2025 surgery that resulted in an emergency hospitalization.
In October of 2025, Bach suddenly canceled an appearance at Cooter’s Place, the Dukes of Hazzard museum owned by former co-star Ben Jones (a.k.a. Cooter). Fans were stunned, and understandably concerned.
Jones later shared, in a now-deleted Facebook post, “Our dear Catherine Bach has just been admitted to the hospital in Los Angeles on an emergency basis. Catherine has an embolism that probably developed as a result of a recent surgery.”

Following the confusing cancellation, the former Bo Duke (actor John Schneider) posted an explanation and update on Facebook, writing, “I just texted Catherine, and thankfully she responded right away. 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.”
Likewise, Tom Wopat (who played Luke Duke) sent his love to Bach via social media, posting a throwback photo of the pair on Instagram and writing, “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.”
Fast-forward one year from Bach’s scary ordeal, and it looks like she’s on the mend. Along with telling People that she’s “good,” her daughter, 28-year-old Laura Lopez, shared, “She’s back and better than ever.”
Bach recently shared a new selfie on Instagram with a friend out for the night at the seafood-and-steakhouse Ocean Prime. Fans flocked to the post, gushing over the pic. One commenter wrote, “Still looking beautiful, Catherine Bach,” as others added, “Lovely photo of two beautiful ladies,” and “You look amazing, Catherine.”
The actress played the legendary short-short-wearing Daisy Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard from 1979 to 1985. She later said, during a 2023 interview with Pitt Community College (of her fans and the show): “It means everything. It’s so great. The people are amazing; we share this memory. We’ve had so much together. I have such a big body of work. I’ve done so many things. And once in a while you get something that really connects with an audience, and that’s a blessing.”
