‘As the World Turns’ Star Was 91


Eileen Fulton, who starred as Lisa Miller on the CBS soap opera “As the World Turns,” died Monday in Asheville, N.C., after a struggle with declining health. She was 91.

Fulton’s death was announced via an obituary shared through her funeral home.

Fulton, who pioneered the bad girl persona in daytime soaps, joined “As the World Turns” in 1960 and starred as the villainess Lisa Miller until the show’s end in 2010. Her storied turn as Lisa, who was famously married eight times throughout the show, makes Fulton one of the longest-running soap opera actors in American television. Fulton herself pushed for Lisa’s antagonism, which contributed to the show’s longevity and popularity, as well as the character’s enduring appeal.

For her “As the World Turns” role, Fulton was inducted into the Soap Opera Hall of Fame in 1998 and honored with a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.

As she was appearing on “As the World Turns,” which was a live broadcast, she was simultaneously acting in a Broadway production of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” and an off-Broadway run of “The Fantasticks.”

Fulton also performed a cabaret act for several years in clubs and venues across New York and Los Angeles. She co-authored her first autobiography, “How My World Turns,” in 1970. She wrote a follow-up, “As My World Still Turns,” in 1995, which coincided with her 35th anniversary on “As the World Turns.” In the late ’80s, she also published six murder mystery novels.

Fulton retired from acting in 2019 and relocated to Black Mountain, N.C.. She is survived by her brother, Charles Furman McLarty, her niece, Katherine Morris and her sister in-law, Chris Page McLarty.
