She was known for her role in the soap opera "As the world turns", where she participated for half a century.
"As the world turns" – a long-runner in TV history - started broadcasting in 1956, and Eileen Fulton joined the ensemble four years later. She was only supposed to be in it for a few months but stayed until the series' last episode in 2010.
In the 70s, she also became known for demanding a special clause in her contract – that she would never have to play a grandmother.
At that time, grandmothers had no romances. I did not want it to happen to me, she has told.
