Legendary 80s sex symbol is unrecognizable as she embraces new look while out in LA... can you guess who she is?
This 80s star rose to fame on a popular television series that established her as a sex symbol.
While out in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the actress, now 71, showed off a new look that was far removed from her days of wearing barely there denim shorts.
The former pin-up girl opted for skinny jeans that showcased her curves, a tight black T-shirt beneath a brown suede jacket, and added a bit of comfort by wearing fuzzy slide sandals.
Her long, light brown hair was parted in the center and styled in long, loose layers.
The beauty — who was born in Ohio — wore natural looking makeup and accessorized with thin dangling earrings. She carried a quilted Chanel purse and a black-and-brown patterned scarf.
Can you guess who she is?
That's right! It's Dukes Of Hazzard star Catherine Bach, who made the iconic Daisy Duke shorts made famous via the popular 1980s action show.
It's been said that Bach wowed Dukes Of Hazzard directors so much during her audition that she was hired on the spot to play Daisy Duke, even though they were reportedly looking for a Dolly Parton–type.
The role earned her massive stardom, and a poster of her posing as Daisy sold five million copies after its release.
The bombshell star made headlines during her time in the show, after it was revealed that she had insured her legs for $1 million.
Since her heyday in The Dukes of Hazzard, Bach has remained a working actress in parts large and small.
The Young and the Restless actress starred with Hollywood legend Robert Mitchum in the drama African Skies, which aired for two seasons on The Family Channel from 1992–1994.
The series focused on a Black family and a white family in the days after apartheid ended in South Africa.
She starred on the daytime drama The Young and the Restless for seven years as Anita Lawson.
Bach, born Catherine Bachman, is the mother of two daughters.

Laura, 26, is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, and Sophia, 29, is a digital creator in Toronto.
She shared both girls with her late husband, entertainment attorney Peter Lopez, whom she married in 1990.
Bach and Lopez found the group C.O.A.C.H. For Kids which provides free medical services for children and their families in the low-income areas of Los Angeles with use of mobile medical clinics.

Challengers had a US man winning the French Open. Reality is very different
The most shocking moment of the 2024 psychosexual tennis film Challengers is not the traumatic knee injury, any frame from the quasi-sex scenes, or the passionate rally with which the movie concludes. It's the reveal that one of the characters, American ATP tennis player Art Donaldson, has won the French Open twice, a stat so foreign to US men we must have a sequel simply for Donaldson to explain how he found success on clay. No American man has lifted the trophy – or even made the semi-finals – on the Parisian clay courts since Andre Agassi did so in 1999. And at the time of Challengers' release, no American man had made the quarter-finals since (bet you won't guess this one) Agassi in 2003. American women have a storied history on clay – Chris Evert's seven Roland-Garros titles and 125-match winning streak on the surface are legend; Serena Williams won Roland-Garros three times; Coco Gauff goes deep there every year and is back in the semi-finals this time – but the men, outside a brief burst in the 1980s and 1990s, have had little luck in the Open era. The 21st-century union between American men and Parisian clay courts is, somehow, more distant and fraught than Art's relationship with his wife, Tashi, in Challengers. The former of those relationships may be getting a tad more affectionate though. At Roland-Garros this year, Americans Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe broke the 22-year quarter-final drought. Tiafoe, previously an unaccomplished clay player, dialed in his whipped forehand and bunted backhand and didn't drop a set en route to the last eight. Paul scrapped to get there, gritting out a comeback from two sets down against the musclebound Marton Fucsovics and a marathon against Karen Khachanov despite a lower ab injury and a relative lack of raw pace on his shots. A smattering of other Americans fell short of the quarter-finals, but impressed nonetheless: Ben Shelton pushed defending champion Carlos Alcaraz to a tight four sets, unheralded Ethan Quinn made the third round. So no Art Donaldson heroics here, but certainly reason for optimism. The question is how much. The American men's runs ended abruptly and with little struggle. Paul's physical issues intensified, making him ideal prey that Alcaraz feasted ravenously on in the quarter-finals: 6-0, 6-1, 6-4. And Tiafoe lost in four sets to Lorenzo Musetti, a clay-courter by trade, accounting for himself well until 5-5 in a decisive third set before losing eight of the final 10 games. The matches outlined the highest standard of play on the slow, shifting clay surface. 'Tiafoe ran up against somebody who really is a clay-courter,' Steve Tignor, a longtime senior writer for said on Tuesday. 'He hadn't lost a set, but I don't know if he'd played anybody who was a really top-tier clay-court guy, who could really make him hit a lot of balls.' We spoke before Alcaraz-Paul, but asked about Paul's potential to win the match, Tignor said, 'I don't really give him too serious a chance.' In an early rally against Alcaraz, Paul got off some of his best groundstrokes, steadily pushing Alcaraz from side to side while improving his own court position. But on the run, from miles beyond the baseline, Alcaraz suddenly uncorked a forehand down the line that blazed past Paul. The shot signified the tennis gods' uneven distribution of gifts. Such power, so far outside Paul's capabilities and so comfortably within Alcaraz's, cannot be acquired or taught, only identified and honed. Even if Tiafoe or Paul had made the final, world No 1 Jannik Sinner most likely would have been waiting. Sinner hits heavy and hard with no cost to accuracy, a living nightmare of an opponent. 'Sinner already seems like a guy, maybe even more than Alcaraz, who's just going to stand in the way of the Americans,' Tignor said. 'I imagine if any of the Americans had come up against him [at Roland-Garros], they would have lost.' In April, Tiafoe told Reem Abulleil that tennis is more open since the end of the Big Three era: 'Anybody can win slams.' In the wake of the retirements of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, plus Novak Djokovic finally showing signs of slowing down, this figured to be an accurate take on the new tennis world order. Empirical evidence so far suggests otherwise. Sinner and Alcaraz have shared the last five major titles and are in their early 20s. They look intent on spending the next decade gradually proving Tiafoe's quote wrong. Paul and Tiafoe performed as well as can be expected at Roland-Garros. So what's the future for the American men on clay, this surface once more ruled by generational talents? There seems to be no room for mere mortals, but that's hardly the mortals' fault. They'll keep trying, keep improving, and perhaps eventually this country of 340 million will once again produce a men's Roland-Garros champion. Until then, American fans can best do justice to their rooting interests by respecting the enormity of the task.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs dangled Cassie's friend off balcony, jury hears
NEW YORK, June 4 (Reuters) - Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs dangled a friend of his former girlfriend Casandra Ventura off the balcony of a high-rise apartment in September 2016, the friend testified on Wednesday at Combs' sex trafficking trial. "I was held over a 17-story balcony," Bryana Bongolan, Ventura's friend, told jurors in Manhattan federal court. Bongolan, 33, said Combs later threw her onto the balcony furniture. She said she suffered bruises as a result of the incident and had night terrors and paranoia. The judge called a lunch break in the trial before prosecutors could ask Bongolan for additional details about the incident. Her testimony was expected to resume shortly after 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT). Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to five counts including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan say Combs over two decades coerced women, including Ventura, to take part in drug-fueled sexual performances with male sex workers known as "Freak Offs." The trial is in its fourth week. Ventura, a rhythm and blues singer known as Cassie, told jurors last month she took part in Combs' Freak Offs for about a decade, at first to please him and later because he blackmailed her with videos of the encounters. She said Combs frequently beat her. Prosecutors with the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office say Combs and his associates used force and the threat of force to coerce women to take part in the Freak Offs and to make sure witnesses to his abuse remained quiet. Combs' lawyers have acknowledged he was at times abusive in domestic relationships, but argue that women who took part in Freak Offs did so consensually. Combs could face life in prison if convicted on all counts. Prosecutors have said they may finish presenting their case next week, allowing the defense to put on its case.
