We love moments like this at the Library. Recently, Whoopi Goldberg visited to discuss her new autobiography with the Librarian of Congress. During a tour of the Library collections beforehand, she got a chance to see the unpublished draft of a screenplay written for her and Bette Midler in the Library’s collection of Neil Simon Papers. ❤️ To learn more about Whoopi’s visit and the Neil Simon Papers, visit blogs.loc.gov/music. | The Library of Congress
