Catherine Bach - a curvy icon of the era of roller skates and short shorts

American actress and model Catherine Bach is considered by many to be the true embodiment of the 70s. The curvaceous beauty loved roller skates and short shorts, which sat delightfully on her slender hips. In the movies, Katherine played reckless beauties with an adventurous character, making millions of men fall in love with her.

Catherine Bach was born on March 1, 1954 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Her parents were German Bernard Bachmann and Mexican Norma Kucera. Having started her film career, Katherine changed her last name to Bach, deciding that it would be more memorable. The childhood of the future star was unremarkable. She went to a regular school, took part in theater productions and danced.

After school, the girl tried herself as a fashion model, but did not achieve much success. But visiting castings at film studios quickly bore fruit. In 1974, 20-year-old Katherine was invited to play a role in the thriller The Midnight Man. The film was not a resounding success, but helped the young actress launch her career.

Katherine no longer had any problems with roles and she acted until 2014, playing 39 roles in films. The most famous film with her participation was the comedy “The Dukes of Hazzard”, three parts of which were released in 1979, 1997 and 2000. The 1984 comedy Cannonball Race 2 and the 1987 drama Streets of Justice were also well received by viewers.

Having become a famous actress, Catherine Bach quickly made a career as a model. Her spectacular appearance helped the girl get onto the pages of many popular glossies in the USA and Canada. The most long-term and productive collaboration was between Bach and Adidas. Katherine not only starred in advertising for the brand, but also repeatedly appeared in films wearing things with the brand logo.

Catherine Bach's film career was quite long. But the years took their toll, and in 2014 the actress played her last role in the comedy “Almost the Royal Family.” The actress was “helped” by her weight problem to leave the cinema. The once slender, spectacular beauty has gained a lot of weight over the years. Bach even appeared in ratings of stars who stopped taking care of themselves.

Now the actress is 70 years old and she is not a public figure. Bach lives alone and communicates only with her children and grandchildren. She was married twice and her last marriage to lawyer Peter Lopez ended tragically in 2010. A man who suffered from health problems and prolonged depression took his own life.
