Catherine: (about her driving) My husband won't let me touch his Porsche. Who could blame him? After John [Schneider] and I drop our kids off at school, we go racing down the street. One time, I was running errands, and had to drop a friend's dog off. I slowed down to let the dog out, and a cop come up behind me and says 'I hope you know I have to give you a ticket for going 104 miles an hour.' Some brands of cars ride so smooth you don't even realize how fast you're going.

Catherine met her current husband Peter Lopez at the house of Don Henly (from the eagles) when working on a enviormental project.

To a Mexican mother, having a daughter interested in a Mexican lawyer, well, that was her dream. As soon as she saw him at a party, she would be like, 'Please, Peter, you're going through a divorce, sit with us.' And I said, 'Don't sit there because whoever my mother likes I hate.' Up to now we've had a nice relationship."

According to Catherine Bach in an interview on E! True Hollywood Story, her famous "Daisy Duke" shorts almost didn't make it onto the show. According to the story, when network executives saw her wearing the shorts, they had a fit and told the producers she couldn't wear them. After arguing back and forth, the execs allowed her to wear them on one condition: She had to wear pantyhose beneath them (So nothing would accidentally be "revealed" should she bend over). Instead of detracting attention, as the execs hoped, the hose highlighted her legs and drew attention, making Bach a TV sex symbol.
