Is it normal behavior for big male stars to mentor aspiring female actresses the way Cosby did?

I don’t think it was actual mentoring; drugs, booze & casual sex with “aspiring actresses” was the norm for Hollywood stars in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, and Cosby’s one of the few who’s getting busted for it.

I doubt it was the norm, but there were plenty of cases of it, especially during the studio system.

BTW, the casting couch also existed for actors, in addition to actresses.
