Although it centres around a woman being abused again, it’s more about how much of a badass the late, great Carrie Fisher was when it came to standing up for herself. The story comes from screenwriter Heather Robinson – who wrote the 2005 film ‘The Perfect Man – as she recounts how Fisher threatened to cut off a studio exec’s penis if he ever threatened a woman again.
