Catherine Bach starred as the stunning Daisy Duke in the popular action-comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard back in the late 70s and 80s.

But on Monday, the actress, 70, swapped her iconic hotpants for chic black trousers as she was spotted in Studio City, LA doing some shopping at the Erewhon Market.

Catherine paired the trousers with a matching black shirt and slipped on silver studded loafers. 

She accessorised with a pair of sunglasses covering her eyes, and another attached to her shirt.

Catherine’s long blond tresses were styled in loose waves and she sported a natuural makeup look during the outing.

Catherine was born on March 1, 1954, and hails from Cleveland, Ohio. In 1973, she landed her first acting role in the movie The Midnight Man.

It’s been said that Catherine wowed Dukes of Hazzard directors so much during her audition that she was hired on the spot to play Daisy Duke.

The role earned her massive stardom – and a poster of her posing as Daisy sold five million copies after its release, and it even caught the eye of First Lady Nancy Reagan.

The bombshell star made headlines during her time in the show, after it was revealed that she had insured her legs for $1 million.

‘You know what it is? I do things that I shouldn’t really do,’ she one explained of her decision to get them insured. ‘I ski.

‘I had a plane when I started the series, which they made me get rid of… [I do] a lot of things. And I sort of take chances. So they thought that they should insure my legs.’

After Dukes of Hazzard ran its course, Catherine acted in a few more titles including the action film Street Justice, 1989 flick Driving Force, motorcycle movie Masters of Menace, and comedy-drama The Breakup Girl. 

Her last role was in 2015, when she starred in the movie Book of Fire.

She also launched her own jewelry line at Debenhams in 2002, but has kept a low profile in recent years. She married a man named David Shaw in 1976, but they divorced after five years together.

She then wed entertainment lawyer Peter Lopez in 1990 and together, they welcomed two daughters, named Sophia and Laura. Her husband tragically died in 2010 at age 60 from an apparent suicide.
