Renée DuMonde is a fictional character on the television soap opera Days of our Lives. The role was portrayed by Philece Sampler from 1981-1983. She is the daughter of Stefano DiMera and Lee DuMonde.
Renée began dating Tony DiMera and her sister Lee DuMonde warned her to stay away from him. In 1982, Tony DiMera proposed to Renée, who accepted. When Renée read Lee's diary she found out that Lee wasn't her sister but her mother and that her father was Stefano DiMera. Renee quickly broke things off with Tony, not telling him the real reason in order to spare his feelings. Tony refused to let Renee go, and when she told him the truth he refused to believe they were siblings. Tony blamed Stefano for breaking them up. When Tony tried to leave town Stefano faked a heart attack. Tony later learned that he and Renee were in fact not related due to a death-bed confession by his mother Daphne DiMera and had the blood tests to prove it. Renee had moved on and was married with David Banning when Tony learned the truth. Despite the evidence that they were not related, Renee refused to leave David. Renée resented Lee for lying to her and she couldn't bear that and left town.
She was later killed by her cousin André DiMera, who was posing as Tony DiMera.
