She would then go on to appear in the murder mystery film “The Midnight Man”, playing the murdered co-ed Natalie. In 1974, she would become part of the film “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot”. After hearing about auditions for the “Dukes of Hazzard” television series, she went on to audition and despite the differences in what the producers wanted, they hired Catherine for the role. In the show, she was responsible for the idea of her iconic look and went on to film the series entire run with Tom Wopat, James Best, and John Schneider.
