Eileen Fulton is an American actress. Fulton is known for her role as Lisa Grimaldi on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns, a role that she played almost continuously for 50 years (with two notable interruptions) from May 18, 1960 until the show's ending on September 17, 2010. The character of Lisa Grimaldi had a storied history, having been married eight times, divorced three times and widowed four times (with her most recent marriage annulled) making her full name Lisa Miller Hughes Eldridge Shea Colman McColl Mitchell Grimaldi Chedwyn.

Fulton was prominently featured in a May 2000 show marking her and costar Don Hastings' fortieth anniversaries on ATWT, as well as in April 2006 during the show's 50th anniversary episode; and from January 2008 to August 2008, was seen in at least two episodes per week. Her appearances dropped off after that time, though she was again featured in a two-part tribute episode in May 2010, celebrating her fiftieth year on the show; she remained on the show through its cancellation, appearing in the final episode in September 2010.

While playing Lisa, Fulton performed in the Off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks and the Broadway production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as "Honey" in 1963. Fulton would tape her scenes for the live airing of As the World Turns, then be on a Broadway stage for the matinee performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and by evening she would be back onstage in the Off-Broadway musical, The Fantasticks. Her other theatre credits include the Off-Broadway production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois with Hal Holbrook in 1963, Many Loves, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, and Nite Club Confidential. She also appeared in regional theatre productions including Plaza Suite, It Had To be You, The Owl and the Pussycat, Goodbye Charlie and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
