| Description | Q: Your grandfather, Barry Goldwater, was both adored and vilified during his lifetime as the rightest of the right-wing senators. Yet your new documentary, “Mr. Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater,” which will be shown on HBO starting Sept. 18, rehabilitates him as a kind of liberal compared with today’s conservatives. -Blair Bunting for The New York Times
C.C. Goldwater:
That was part of the reason I thought a film could be done about him.
He emerges as a complex figure — a half-Jewish cowboy from Phoenix who believed the government should stay out of our hair. He thought gays should be allowed in the military and was also pro-choice.
My mom had an abortion in the mid-50’s, before she had me. She was in college, and she wanted to finish and get a degree and not have a child then. Barry felt it was a woman’s right to make that choice. |
