Catherine Bach

Catherine's parents - an acupuncturist of Mexican descent, and a cowboy of German descent - divorced when she was 6 and her brother Philip was 5.

Catherine Bach was the star of the track team in high school.

Catherine Bach has a long held interest in domestic violence. She says "Its not right and its not manly" One time in a Santa Fe hotel lobby, the actress spotted a man slapping his wife. The actress leaped on the man's back, threw him to the floor, then flipped him over and smacked him one. ``Do you like that?'' she demanded. ``Did that feel good to you?'' She later reprised the incident in an episode of Skies in which she pounded on an abusive husband so fiercely that the actor wouldn't speak to her for days.
