Description
Ben Jones, beloved actor best known as Cooter from “The Dukes of Hazzard,” passed away at 84 after a heart attack at home while watching baseball. Beyond his iconic role as the garage owner and mechanic, he served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat from Georgia, bouncing back from a 1986 loss to win big in 1988. His wife called him deeply loved and said he lived a full, amazing life. His death closes a chapter for fans of the classic show — which ran from 1979 to 1985 — and for admirers of his public service.
