Richard Skipper and Eileen Fulton are sitting down for an intimate chat to discuss Eileen’s career and life and the people she has worked with. The final fifteen minutes of the event will be dedicated to Eileen addressing and answering questions from the audience.
Eileen will also be meeting and greeting fans and friends downstairs following the interview and performance. Imagine “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” but with Richard Skipper’s dynamic, energetic, and memorable style.
Eileen Fulton is best known for being the first “bad girl” on television, when she created the role of Lisa Miller on the CBS Soap, As The World Turns over 50 years ago.
Her character was scandalous enough to attract huge audiences that loved to hate her.

Her popularity was so high at that time that CBS produced one of television’s first “primetime soaps” for her when they created the spin off nighttime series, “Our Private World”.

A few Testimonials
Last night’s (Nov. 1, 20 book-signing by Carolyn Quinn of her book, “Mama Rose’s Turn” had a full-to-capacity crowd in attendance as she gave an excellent interview and extended a tantalizing invitation to read her fact- filled and intriguing book. She also introduced to many of us, for the first time – Richard Skipper. His thought- provoking questions and comments, wittiness, sense of humor and wonderful speaking voice made you feel like you wish you could have sat there for at least another hour. Carolyn seems to be on a roll when it comes to her “detective work” and has more stage mom- themed book ideas on the front burners and possible plans for collaborations in the Hollywood area. Way to go, Carolyn- your fan club is growing and anxious to hear more about your future ventures. Kudos to Carolyn and to a new fond acquaintance, Richard Skipper.

What a wonderful time I had sitting front and center for “Richard Skipper Celebrates Julie Budd” at The Laurie Beechman Theater on November 20th, 2013. It was as though there was a magic thread connecting the two of them as Richard drew the audience into what felt like a warm reminiscence between two old friends… and of course Julie sang spectacularly as always!

On July 3rd, 2013, a wonderful event occurred at the Metropolitan Room in New York City. Performer, Richard Skipper launched a celebrity interview program, which will be ongoing.
His first guest was Jackie Joseph, who recounted her career, with great anecdotes and information about icons of television from the 60’s and 70’s, most notably Doris Day and Dick van Dyke. Jackie was delightful throughout and could resist performing “Mr. Snow” from “Carousel”, her favorite role. Richard Skipper, paced the interview well, encouraged interaction from the audience and the outcome was lots of fun! He has great guests lined up for the future in this wonderful space, which lent itself beautifully to this format. Looking forward to more, more, more!

A most wonderful evening with Richard Skipper celebrating Jackie Joseph! Time spent at these interviews gives one the opportunity of seeing a glimpse into the personal side of personalities that would never have the chance to… Thanks for a great time!
