Harvey Weinstein accuser Louisette Geiss recalls feeling more than a prickle of anxiety when cold-pitching songwriting legend Diane Warren on penning music and lyrics for her sexual harassment musical"I ran up to her and said hello, I'm Louisette Geiss, I'm a Harvey Weinstein survivor and we're going to do a musical about 25 women telling their stories, and I've got Howard Kagan and Susan Stroman, so I'd love if there's any way I could speak to you about this at a...
