Eileen Fulton, the iconic star of the soap opera "As the World Turns," passed away at 91. Known for her portrayal of the complex character Lisa Grimaldi for over 50 years, Fulton initially reshaped the role from a 'sweet girl' into a memorable 'bad girl,' influencing the show's writers. Her memorable career included a 'grandma clause' in her contract to prevent her character from aging out of the show, and she received a Daytime Emmy nomination. Fulton's impact on daytime television and her memorable performance solidified her legacy. She died July 14th in Asheville, North Carolina.
