Evening With CC Goldwater

featuring a special screening of
Mr. Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater

Wednesday, December 19, 2007, 6:00 p.m.
Connally Ballroom
University of Texas Alumni Center

As the granddaughter of former Senator and presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, CC Goldwater knows the subject of her first film well. Ms. Goldwater has served as a television entertainment correspondent in New York and Los Angeles and has most recently produced Mr. Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater, a 90-minute documentary detailing Barry Goldwater’s rise in politics and his unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1964. The film includes interviews with Senators Edward Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, as well as Walter Cronkite, Ben Bradlee, George Will, Bob Schieffer, Helen Thomas, Andy Rooney, George Carville, and members of the Goldwater family. She will introduce the film, which will then be shown in its entirety. A reception will follow.

“In this biographical documentary, illuminated by interviews with major public figures and never-before-seen home movies and photos, CC looks back on the man, his morals, his missteps, and his enduring legacy as ‘Mr. Conservative.’”
- HBO Documentary Films
