Famed soap opera star Eileen Fulton has died. The longtime “As The World Turns” actress was 91.

Sitting up in the dentist's chair, still numb from the anaesthetic, I gazed into the mirror and felt sick with dismay.

Eileen Fulton, the original diva of daytime TV, who brought fire and flair to Grimaldi on As the World Turns, is no more. But her legacy lives on, bold as ever.
