Meryl and Cher (Cheryl?) once saved a woman from a mugger in New York City, according to a speech Streep made earlier this week.
Speaking at a Committee To Protect Journalists event, Meryl recounted two incidents in which she had to defend herself or someone else from physical violence.
She mentioned a time she ‘went completely nuts’ at a mugger, then revealed that Cher was there too:
I just went completely nuts and went after this man. Ask Cher – she was there. And the thug ran away, it was a miracle.

This isn’t the first time either of them has mentioned the incident – Cher included it in a 2013 ’25 Things You Don’t Know About Me’ piece for Us Weekly magazine.
It’s in there between lunch with Stephen Hawking and discovering a whole room in her house she didn’t know existed:
Just in case you’re wondering how Meryl and Cher know each other: They worked together on the 1983 drama Silkwood, and will reunite in the upcoming Mamma Mia sequel.
