Eileen Fulton (Lisa Grimaldi)

Eileen Fulton originated the role of the colorful Lisa on AS THE WORLD TURNS in May 1960 and temporarily brought the character to primetime in the 1965 CBS spin-off series, Our Private World. In 1991, her work was recognized with Soap Opera Digest's Editor's Award, and in 1996 she received a nomination for a Soap Opera Digest Award. Eileen was also named Best Actress in 1970 by Daytime TV Magazine's readers poll, and she remained in the Top Ten in this category for 58 of the first 80 issues, which were printed between 1970 and 1977.

At one point, Eileen worked mornings on ATWT, afternoons in matinee presentations of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on Broadway, and evenings in the off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks. Her additional theater credits include off-Broadway productions of Abe Lincoln in Illinois with Hal Holbrook; Many Loves; Summer of the Seventeenth Doll; and Nite Club Confidential. She has also appeared in regional theater productions such as Plaza Suite; It Had To Be You by Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna; The Owl and the Pussycat; Goodbye, Charlie; and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

As a cabaret performer and song-stylist, Eileen has played singing engagements in many top nightclubs around the country, and starred in several one-woman New York shows. She is also a prolific writer who has co-authored two autobiographies, How My World Turns and As My World Still Turns, and written six murder mysteries: Take One for Murder, Death of a Golden Girl, Dying for Stardom, Lights! Camera! Death!, A Setting for Murder, and Fatal Flashback, and a romance novel, Soap Opera.

Eileen majored in music and minored in dramatics at Greensboro College in North Carolina and made her professional debut in The Lost Colony, an annual drama presentation at Manteo, North Carolina. In 1956, she moved to New York City and studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre.

She has been an active supporter of such charities as UNICEF, the March of Dimes, Cerebral Palsy, the Lupus Foundation, and Martha's Table, an organization in Washington DC, that benefits poor and homeless mothers and children. She has established a musical scholarship in her late father's name at Brevard College in North Carolina, and a Fine Arts scholarship in her and her mother's names at their alma mater, Greensboro College. An avowed women's rights advocate, Eileen has also given her time and energies to numerous causes devoted to the betterment of women.
