Up until I was 14 we lived in Burbank (LA is what I usually say) and it was not at all unusual to run into Hollywood types like at Bob Hope or the mall. No one ever bothered me but I did get asked out once by Thomas Dekker who was really sweet and complimentary when I told him I was only 13 at the time. I was tall for my age and it was an understandable thing. I was never offended by it and he was a 100% nice boy.
I spent two years in Hollywood back in the 70s. There was a Catholic Church in which people like Pat O’Brien was an usher. My mother loved Hollywood! You’d see people like Cher at the supermarket - it wasn’t unusual.
