Maybe fans would wait outside hotels and venues for autographs.
And maybe thered be a few stalkers tracking down a house phone number now and then.
The 90s and 00s were famously not a fun time to be a celeb.

But now, it seems, the boundaries between A-listers and fans have been eroded even further.
We dont need paparazzi and tabloids so much when we have our own phoneswecan be the paparazziandthe tabloids.
This is a life that 26-year-old pop star Chappell Roan isnt willing to accept for herself.
She continues: c’mon stop touching me.
But she is one of the first to make such an unwavering statement so early on in her career.
This time last year, not many people knew the name Chappell Roan.
Now, the names a household one and youd recognize her face even out of drag.
So shes nipping the situation in the bud before going any further.
Chappell is a pop star, so she chooses to perform shows and do press events.
But shes entitled to have time for herself outside of whatever fans and the media want from her.
Chappell is saying: its not only possible but arightto have both.
But what is it about fame that makes people think theyre entitled to that persons time and energy?
Theres nothing wrong with that.
But just because you enjoy the interaction doesnt mean that theyre always required to give it to you.
Sometimes we just want to be invisible.
