Lenore Dauterive is the ex-wife of Bill Dauterive. She was dishonest with their marriage, and cheated on Bill several times starting 2 weeks after their marriage.[citation needed] The marriage ended in a divorce. The divorce was unofficial at the time. However, Lenore signed the papers herself by faking Bill's signature. Despite Lenore's infidelity, Bill still wanted her back from time to time. However, whenever Bill tried to contact Lenore, she rejected him. There was an exception to that in "Hank and the Great Glass Elevator" when Lenore showed up when Bill started dating former Texas governor Ann Richards. However, Bill saw Lenore behind the governor's back and Lenore continued to degrade him. Bill finally mooned Lenore to her disgust, and the governor remarked: "There's hope for Bill after all."
Lenore was portrayed by Emmy and Tony Award winning actress, Ellen Barkin.
