John Schneider, Tom Wopat, and Catherine Bach recently came together to welcome their Dukes of Hazzard General Lee car into the Hollywood museum. They had the time to speak at length about their memories of the hit '80s show.

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Schneider looked back on how protective he and Wopat were of Catherine Bach during The Dukes of Hazzard. From what he described, it seemed the group was as tight-knit as family. The two male costars took on a brotherly role, making sure the weird world of Hollywood didn't harm Catherine.
His heartwarming relationship with his costars has always been close. "I couldn't imagine a life without Tom Wopat being one of my best friends, without Catherine Bach being one of my best friends. It couldn't possibly exist."
Because of this, they developed protective attitudes toward one another. Catherina Bach was only in her 20s when she shot to fame. She became one of the most famous sex symbols of the era with her short Daisy Dukes and million-dollar legs.
"Tom and I were very protective of Catherine," said the 65-year-old. "Hollywood in those days, Hollywood in any days, is a little odd, but particularly for a young woman in her 20s who had her legs insured for a million dollars," Schneider sold the outlet.
Home By 9 For Dukes of Hazzard Catherine Bach
The two male costars of The Dukes of Hazzard took special care to ensure that whatever lucky male suitor took Catherine Bach out had her home by 9 pm. "We would make sure whenever Catherine had a visitor on set, someone she might be dating, we'd come up to them like you would imagine Bo and Luke [Duke] would come up. 'Hey, how are you? What are you doing? We work early tomorrow, so you've got to have her in by 9 o'clock tonight."
They behaved like big brothers to the young woman. For the three of them, there was never any kind of romantic relationship, only a familial one. It must have been nice for Catherine Bach to know she had two of Hollywood's hard men taking care of her in the wild world of show business.
