It's every fan girl's dream to star across from their screen idol — even the legendary Eileen Fulton (Lisa, AS THE WORLD TURNS). So imagine her joy when her hero, Farley Granger, was cast as her love interest on AS THE WORLD TURNS in 1986, almost four decades after she sighed over him on the silver screen!

"I used to go to the movies and [see his films]," admits Fulton, recalling that, "I went to the movies to see Roseanna McCoy — of the Hatfields and McCoys — and he was in that."

Granger, who played Johnse Hatfield, "had a sexy scene where poor Roseanna goes out into the woods because she thinks she hears a whippoorwill, which she knows is really the Farley Granger character," recounts Fulton.

"She runs out; he swoops up, and picks her up. She screams and fights, and they go behind a bush. And the next scene is the sun coming up, and she's coming out from behind the bush buttoning her [top], and I'll tell you, all of us, all of the girls, went to see that movie over and over. We didn't know exactly what went on, but whatever it was, it was sexy," laughs Fulton.

Not that Granger shared Fulton's fondness for that salacious 1949 film. "When I saw him the first day at work, when he came in, I jumped on him and started singing the music that had been the theme song for Roseanna McCoy, and he looked at me and he said, 'That was undoubtedly the worst movie I ever did,'" laughs Fulton. "He said, 'Oh, please remember me for other things,' and of course I do."
