Throughout the decade, Bach took on roles in other films such as Hustle (1975) and Woman In The Rain (1976).
Her breakthrough came when she was cast as Daisy Duke in The Dukes Of Hazzard with Tom Wopat and John Schneider.
The actress previously revealed that she nearly turned away the role after her agency had fired her during an interview with Fox News in 2019.
A writer on the show Bob Clark, whom her ex-husband David Shaw had been connected with at the time, had reached out to her to audition.
'He must have told him my stories because Bob called me and said, "I'm working on this project and I've been thinking about you. I bring you up about your stories. I would love for you to try out for this role, Daisy Duke." I went, "No, no, no."'
Bach admitted that she 'didn't think I had a chance. But he goes, "I really want you to come in."'
Following her audition, she recalled receiving a round of applause and landed the role.

She said that the creators of the show 'wanted me to wear a poodle skirt that matched the tablecloth.
'I said, "You want me to match the tablecloth? That's demeaning to women." They went, "We didn't come up with that!'
Bach remembered grabbing her 'jean shorts that I could never get even, with cowboy boots and a little top... They loved it.'
Four films followed the series which came to an end in 1985, with the most recent being The Dukes Of Hazzard: The Beginning (2017).
