Philece Sampler

Debra Philece Sampler was an American film, television, and voice actress who lived from July 16, 1953, until July 1, 2021. She began her career as Renée.

I grew up listening to her voice acting, and it’s heartbreaking for the entire Voice Acting community to learn of her passing. “My heart feels sad,” Peggy Webb commented on Facebook. Piece Sampler, a great friend of mine, died suddenly at her home in Los Angeles. She was a phenomenal actor with a lovely attitude, a kind heart, and a gentle soul. With a few screenplays in hand, she went to the United States and founded Philman Entertainment, a production firm. She moved on to the TV series Rituals from 1984 to 1985 after leaving Days of our Lives in September 1983. After Rituals, Philece went on to play Donna Love in Another World in 1986, taking over the role of Anna Stuart. When Stuart recovered the post, she departed AW in 1989. Sampler rose to prominence on the soap opera Days of Our Lives as Renée DuMonde. Renee’s character was the subject of a big 1983 murder investigation, culminating in one of daytime’s most dramatic send-offs.
