On Thursday, October 30, Bach’s former Dukes of Hazzard co-star Ben Jones (who played Cooter Davenport) shared heartbreaking news via Facebook, revealing that the 71-year-old actress had been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital.
Jones and his wife, Alma, confirmed that Bach had developed an embolism — reportedly a complication that arose from a recent surgery.
“Breaking news! Our dear Catherine Bach has just been admitted to the hospital in Los Angeles on an emergency basis,” the couple wrote.“Catherine has an embolism that probably developed as a result of a recent surgery. We will keep you posted, and Catherine will share her story as soon as she is recovered.”

They added a message of love and reassurance to fans:
“She is so, so sorry to have to cancel her appearance at Cooter’s this weekend. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Love, Ben and Miss Alma.”
As a result, Bach’s scheduled November 1–2 fan appearances at Cooter’s Place in Nashville, Tennessee, were canceled.
Catherine Bach rose to stardom in the late 1970s as Daisy Duke, the confident and charismatic cousin to Bo and Luke on The Dukes of Hazzard. Her portrayal not only made her a pop culture icon but also inspired the term “Daisy Dukes” for short denim shorts — a lasting legacy in television and fashion.
In 2012, Bach joined The Young and the Restless as Anita Lawson, the scheming mother of Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan). Her debut aired on February 7, 2012, introducing fans to a con artist with charm and chaos in equal measure. Anita’s turbulent relationship with Jeffrey Bardwell (Ted Shackelford) brought humor and heat to Genoa City, and her final appearance came on August 13, 2019.
While no further updates have been shared, Ben Jones stated about keeping fans informed as Catherine continues her recovery journey.
