'Dukes of Hazzard' star Catherine Bach stuns fans in new photo after reported hospitalization

Catherine Bach has plenty of reasons to smile these days.

The star, who was accompanied by a pal, was glowing in a bold red blouse and jeans, completing her look with smoky eyes, tousled tresses and a glossy nude lip.

"FAMILY," the star, who turned 72 on March 1, captioned the photo, along with a heart emoji.

"Through so many of life's milestones, we're more than friends, we're family! Xoxo," she wrote.

Many took to the comments section to praise Bach's latest appearance.

"I bet you could still pull off Daisy Dukes!" another chimed.

"Still smoking!" another wrote.

Bach appeared to be in good spirits after she had a health scare in October. According to multiple reports, she was hospitalized for an embolism.

Fox News Digital reached out to Bach's spokesperson for comment.

Their co-star Tom Wopat, known as Luke Duke by fans, also shared words of encouragement on Instagram, along with a throwback photo of the pair.

Ben Jones, who played mechanic Cooter Davenport, previously shared the concerning news on Facebook.

"Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Love, Ben and Miss Alma."

"Catherine and Cooter's Place are very sorry for any inconvenience," they shared. "We will reschedule and announce the new date as soon as it's set. Thank you for your understanding and continued support."

"She was such a trooper," one user wrote on Instagram. "I know she was signing things after we left and we were in line for seven hours so that is just impressive and I have so much respect for her."

"The Dukes of Hazzard," which chronicled the adventures of "the fast-drivin', rubber-burnin' Duke boys of Hazzard County," aired from 1979 to 1985. The castmates have remained friends for decades.

In 2019, Bach told Fox News Digital she came up with the idea of wearing short shorts in the series.

"You would have, too!" she laughed. "The creators wanted me to wear a poodle skirt that matched the tablecloth. I said, 'You want me to match the tablecloth? That's demeaning to women.' They went, 'We didn't come up with that!' They took me across the street from Warner Brothers, and sure enough, there were these older ladies waitressing at this little Italian restaurant wearing poodle skirts that matched the tablecloth."

Bach quickly became a sex symbol, posing for a famous poster that sold 5 million copies, and her legs were insured for $1 million.

"I didn't look at it as being a pinup," she explained. "On a personal level, my husband at the time didn't like me working. So, I was going through this hard time emotionally, trying to be independent and assertive. Also, Warner Bros. wanted me to follow the same formula as Farrah Fawcett. But I felt like audiences wanted something else. They wanted an all-American country girl."

"There is a certain amount of typecasting, sure," Bach reflected. "Everybody goes through that. But I know I'm an actress. And I have not played that part since I finished 'Dukes of Hazzard.'
