About this ebook
Leo Eaton is today a respected American documentary filmmaker. THE TRAVELING YEARS, A MEMOIR OF PUPPETS, PORNO & PENURY follows his adventures for 16 years prior to settling in America, during which time he traveled the world as (in chronological order) one of the youngest television directors in Britain, a tequila-soaked lotus eater in Mexico, a boat builder in Canada, a pornographer in Los Angeles, an aspiring novelist back in Mexico, a university instructor in Texas, and a plumber and starving writer in Greece and Portugal.
Whether directing iconic British puppet series like ‘Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons’ or ‘Joe 90’ in the 1960s, living with a beautiful Hollywood starlet, writing adult books with cult filmmaker Ed Wood Jr. (played by Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s biopic of the same name), locked up in a Mexican jail or living for years in a small Cretan village where he and his wife were the only foreigners, the experiences of these Traveling Years laid the foundation on which Leo Eaton’s later award-winning documentary career would be built.
