Eileen
Fulton, America’s stunning entertainment diva sings, acts, moves, talks and
philosophizes as the perfect “La Femme Fatale”. As enigmatic as Marlene
Dietrich, as classy as Lana Turner, as dramatic as Edith Piaf and as warm and
convincing as Simone Signoret, this American gem brings class, beauty,
elegance, intelligence, warmth, quality and divinity to the world of American
entertainment. God, sometimes, makes mistakes; he creates now and then, an
almost perfect diva. And this, infuriates Goddesses in the firmament, confuses
stage directors, disorients starlets but, it still brings to the world,
intelligent beauty, truthful talent, mesmerizing performances, fatal charm
and enchantment…for some of us, this is too much, for others, this is just the
beginning of the magical and captivating universe of showbiz. And this
universe becomes a kingdom. To exist and cement the roots of its perpetuity,
this kingdom of beauty and enchantment needs a king, sometimes a queen. More
than a queen, would be EILEEN FULTON!! With grace, she reigns over the kingdom
of American entertainment. Eileen’s kingdom is immense. She shines and
glitters on every inch of this kingdom which encompasses soap operas, motion
pictures, stage, television, cabaret, writing, singing, dancing,
story-telling, acting and flirting with Gods! And Eileen Fulton did it all.
Eileen originated the role of Lisa Miller on “As The World Turns” in
1960 and succeeded in bringing the character to prime time in the 1965 CBS “Our
Private World”. As a queen of American soap opera, Eileen received in1991
the “Soap Opera Digest's Editor's Award” followed in 1996 by a
nomination for a Soap Opera Award from “Soap Opera Digest” and by
another prestigious nomination as Best Actress in 1970 by “Daytime
TV Magazine's” reader's poll.
In
1998, this American Super Diva was inducted into the “Soap Opera Hall of
Fame”. She was on the top of the world. And she is still on the top, for no
living performer can surpass her talent.
As a cabaret super artist and a
soprano singer, Eileen Fulton redefined Cabaret quality and quality standards,
for she does not copy or imitate other super stars. On the contrary, she
creates her own, a “Fulton Style” characterized by a mesmerizing presence,
Soprano crystal clear voice, stunning intelligent beauty, right moves,
sophistication, dramatic allure, human depth, sensuality, warm personality,
truthful lyrical voice, fatal charm and romanticism. She is the reincarnation
of the vanished great golden era of American extravaganza, the magic of the
great follies and mysteriously through this incarnation, she re-invents
herself as the perfect contemporary Cabaret femme fatale! Have you ever heard
Eileen singing "Blame It On My Youth", "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good",
"There Is a Time" written by France’s great Charles Aznavour (This is my
favorite, being a French-American), "A Flower is a Lovesome Thing", "As If We
Never Said Goodbye", "The Little Drummer Boy", "Santa Man",
and "Losing My Mind"? If you did, then you are
in heaven. If not yet, what are you waiting for? A miracle? Go get her CDs.
Although, cabaret singing is not her primordial forte, Eileen Fulton,
magically, managed to nourish her voice and presence on stage with an elixir
of a hypnotizing stage presence and mesmerizing appeal which made the career
of very few artists who transcended time and space, such as Jacques Brel,
Edith Piaf, Gabriella Ferri, Amanda McBroom and Barbara Cook. Eileen Fulton is
a stage and cabaret sensation.
A multi-dimensional phenomenon!!
