Eileen Fulton, the legendary actress renowned for her unforgettable role as Lisa Grimaldi on the iconic soap opera As the World Turns, has sadly passed away at the age of 91, as reported by RadarOnline.com. Fulton’s death occurred on Monday, July 14, at her residence in Asheville, North Carolina, following a period of declining health, according to an obituary released by Groce Funeral Home.

Born Margaret Elizabeth McLarty on September 13, 1933, in Asheville, Eileen Fulton’s journey to stardom was shaped by her creative upbringing. Coming from a family where storytelling was cherished, Fulton’s passion for performance was evident from a young age. She fondly recalled her first stage appearance at just two years old, singing “Mama’s little baby loves shortening bread” at a church altar. This early display of talent foreshadowed her future success in the entertainment industry.

Fulton’s early career saw her studying drama and music at Greensboro College before making her way to New York City in 1956. Under the mentorship of renowned acting instructors Sanford Meisner and Lee Strasberg, she honed her craft and made her film debut in the 1960 drama Girl of the Night. However, it was her role as Lisa Grimaldi on As the World Turns that solidified her status as a television icon.

Initially cast as Lisa Mae Bailey, Fulton’s portrayal of the complex character Lisa Grimaldi captivated audiences and led to a remarkable 50-year run on the show, which concluded in 2010. Throughout her tenure, Fulton’s character navigated through eight marriages and numerous affairs, solidifying her as a beloved fixture of daytime television.

Their dynamic and nuanced performances resonated with viewers, showcasing the depth of their characters’ relationships. Fulton’s dedication to crafting a rich backstory for Lisa Grimaldi added layers of complexity to her portrayal, earning her praise from fans and critics alike.

Despite the cancellation of As the World Turns, Fulton remained optimistic about the future, expressing confidence in her colleagues and their abilities to find new opportunities in the industry. Her contributions to the genre were duly recognized with a Soap Opera Digest Award in 1991 and a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2004 Daytime Emmys.

Beyond her soap opera success, Eileen Fulton’s career encompassed a wide range of roles, including a memorable stint on Broadway in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and a starring role in the short-lived spin-off Our Private World. Her versatility as an actress and her dedication to her craft were evident throughout her career, earning her accolades and admiration from fans worldwide.

In reflecting on her illustrious career, Fulton once remarked, “I have gone through two lives, my own and Lisa’s, and not many actors get to do that.” Her impact on the world of entertainment and her enduring legacy as a television icon will forever be remembered and cherished by fans and colleagues alike.
