Reference excerpt

Lee DuMonde is a fictional character from Days of Our Lives portrayed by Brenda Benet from 1979 to 1982. The character was written out after Benet's suicide in 1982.

Casting Lee was played by actress Brenda Benet. The character exited the soap after Benet killed herself in April 1982. Benet's co-star Bill Hayes, who played Lee's love interest Doug Williams, and his wife Susan Seaforth Hayes (who played Lee's rival Julie Olson Williams), explained that the soap's producer knew that Benet had lost a lot of weight and was "going downhill physically" prior to her death.

Storylines Lee is a gold digger and she came to Salem when her boyfriend Byron Carmichael died and left his fortune to his half-brother Doug Williams. Lee married Doug and kept him from his true love Julie Olson. After Lee had a stroke, her sister Renée DuMonde came to town. Lee could not save her marriage to Doug and he divorced her. Renée began dating Tony DiMera and Lee warned her to stay away from him. When Renée read her diary she found out that Lee wasn't her sister but her mother and that her father was Stefano DiMera. Now that Tony was her brother she married someone else, but then Daphne DiMera revealed that Tony wasn't really Stefano's son. Renée resented Lee for lying to her and she left town as she could not bear that.

Reception A writer from UPI called Lee "scheming" and "often hysterical". Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows called Lee a "supervixen" and wrote that whilst "viewers loved to hate her — her conniving character was, after all, coming between megapopular Doug and Julie Williams — she was as integral a part of the show as the hourglass". He added that Benet "had a vivacity that made — that still makes — it impossible to imagine her being gone".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lee DuMonde

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lee DuMonde claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lee DuMonde before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lee DuMonde ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lee DuMonde

In research: Lee DuMonde appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lee DuMonde in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lee DuMonde is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American female characters in soap operas, Days of Our Lives characters, Deceased fictional characters, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lee DuMonde outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
