The 'Dukes of Hazzard' Star Was Hospitalized Last Year
The unfortunate hospitalization of the Dukes of Hazzard star came in October of last year. As we reported on when it happened, she had suffered an embolism following a surgery.
Her co-star, Ben Jones, revealed to fans what had happened. "Breaking news! 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. 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."
John Schneider also wrote at the time, "Attention 'Dukes of Hazzard' family!! 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. We love you, Catherine!!"
One month later, in November, she was seen out and about following her release from hospital. "The star, 71, has been pictured enjoying the sunny day with her dog, and looked in good spirits for their leisurely stroll," she was described.
We're so happy to hear that she's doing a lot better since her hospitalization, and hope she is now fully recovered!
