I dont know about you, but as a man from the south...I just cant imagine any one being Daisy Duke other then Catherine Bach, to me Jessica Simpson will be fake and stupid.....and so will the movie....what do you guys think?

Though I don't like the original sereis & don't care for the remake, Jessica Simpson shouldn't be "acting" in the first place.  :P

Right on, Woops. She should know her role.  :)

    Catherine Bach brought a certain kind of subtle Southern belle charm and sexuality to the role of Daisy Duke, and I don't believe that Jessica Simpson has the capacity nor the depth to recreate that. However, even though I initially thought that a Dukes of Hazzard remake was a terrible idea, after finding out who the director will be I have hope for it and will reserve judgment until it is released and the initial reviews are in. It will be directed by Jay Chandrasekhar (OK, I had to look that up) from the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, best known for "Super Troopers." This was another movie that looked really stupid in the TV ads but I saw it on DVD and it was actually funnier than hell.  So don't count the "Dukes" movie out yet...it has potential.

Catherine Bach...although she hasn't aged very well :-\\

I'd say Jessica Simpson.  :o

I saw Catherine Bach in a Dukes reunion show a few years back, and she looked like a sack of potatoes shoved into a pair of jeans. Hasn't aged very well.  :-\\

Catherine. I agree she hasn't aged well.

Hell, I got her beat by her measurements somewhat: 34-25-40!

I like Jessica Simpson, it will be interesting to see  :)

I like Jessica Simpson but...
...I just cant imagine any one being Daisy Duke other then Catherine Bach

Although at this point in Ms. Bach's life I would rather see Jessica in them Daisy Duke's! :P

IMO, Jessica Simpson fits more into the role of "Kelly Bundy" if there were to be a dumb remake of "Married...with Children"  :D  ::)


Though she probably wouldn't be acting...  :P

I agree that Catherine Bach hasn't aged well, but I have to give her kudos for not resorting to the plastic surgery and other fakeness that help most Hollywood people age "well".

Besides, the question wasn't a comparative of the two at their present ages. That would be pointless, as no one wants to see a grandma in her short-shorts. :P

So,

In reference to who's the better Daisy Duke? Well, the original is it. Aside from her persona being Catherine's own creation, right down to her Daisy Duke shorts (her original idea and creation as well), she embodies the subtle sensuality and depth (as AL-B mentioned earlier in the thread) that Simpson could never capture. Plus, most Hollywood sensuality today is represented more as cheap than anything else. If Simpson dyes her hair, she can be a decent look-alike. In my opinion though, that's the best Simpson can hope for.

I also think Bach was much prettier in the face than Simpson. But that's just my opinion.

Well said, Hairspray :)

Well said, Hairspray :)


Thanks. :)

Catherine Bach.

For me, in the looks department, Jessica Simpson wins. Her Daisy Dukes are waaaaaaaay shorter than Catherine Bach. But on the acting side, Catherine Bach wins, she was a better actress. Wasn't fake.

Neither


Can't stand original show and, though I haven't seen the film, I can't stand that "singer/actress"...  :P

Jessica has an overall better bod, but Catherine has better face, legs, personality and brains :)
Agree with Nondiva above, Catherine was a better actress.
