The Young and the Restless alum Catherine Bach, 71, best known for playing Anita Lawson — Chelsea’s (Melissa Claire Egan) mom — has been hospitalized due to complications following surgery. Bach is also beloved for her iconic role as Daisy Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard.
Bach’s former Dukes of Hazzard co-star Ben Jones shared the concerning news on Facebook on Thursday. His statement read:
“Breaking news! Our dear Catherine Bach has just been admitted to the hospital in Los Angeles on an emergency basis,” he shared. “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. 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.”
Bach was scheduled to appear at Cooter’s Garage in Nashville this Saturday and Sunday. The actress, who portrayed Daisy Duke through all seven seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard, was set to take part in a meet-and-greet on both days. Unfortunately, due to her hospitalization, those plans have been postponed, and updates are forthcoming.
Fans may also remember Bach for her recurring role on The Young and the Restless as Anita Lawson from 2012 to 2019. Since leaving the CBS daytime drama, she has made appearances on Hawaii Five-0 and Almost Royal.
At this time, no additional details about Bach’s condition have been released. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
