Lisa Miller Grimaldi

Lisa Miller Grimaldi is a fictional character on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns. The character first appeared in May 1960, as the fiancée of medical student Bob Hughes. (The two would soon elope, when they discovered that Lisa was pregnant.) Over the next four decades, Lisa would go on to marry seven more times. A scheming "vixen" in her early years, Lisa has gone on to become a well-respected presence in Oakdale (the fictional town in which As the World Turns is set), often offering advice and support to the town's younger residents. An entrepreneur, she currently owns a restaurant, a clothing boutique and co-owns a hotel; she formerly owned one of the town's newspapers, The Argus, and a nightclub.
