A neighbourhood of Los Angeles, California, known as the center of the American motion picture industry.

An automobile leaving Los Angeles and going westward over the splendid boulevard called "Sunset"—one of the main arteries of travel in the southwest—and a little northerly, will soon arrive at the sea-coast, or, in other words, at the beach resorts of Los Angeles. The district passed over in going to these beaches has been named Hollywood. It is a part of Los Angeles. The community, grown like a mushroom, now holds one hundred thousand souls, ten thousand of which are directly interested in the motion picture business. The main thoroughfare in Hollywood is called Hollywood Boulevard. It is a comparatively short street, branching off from Sunset Boulevard and running thereafter two blocks from Sunset and parallel to it. At the intersection of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards still stands, though it is about to be obliterated owing to a recent fire, a wooden building, not large and not spacious, labelled with the title, Chester A. Bennett Studios,—a building that has some history attached to it, since it was originally the home of David Wark Griffith's activities, among the earliest in recent Hollywood history.

Even without hovering drones, a lurking assassin, a thumping score and a denouement, the real-life story of Edward Snowden, a rogue spy on the run, could be straight out of the cinema. But, as with Hollywood, the subplots and exotic locations may distract from the real message: America’s discomfort and its foes’ glee.

Thinly-veiled homophobia – this time in early-2000s Hollywood – made Brokeback Mountain an immense challenge for Ossana and her fellow producer James Schamus.

Resembling or relating to the Hollywood movie industry.

As many critics pointed out, the timely (but mostly tame and light) comedy was not too controversial, but too popular, too American, and too Hollywood to headline a festival that was scheduled to screen the likes of Robert Bresson's Un Feme Douce, Jean-Luc Godard's Le Gai Savior, Eric Rohmer's My Night at Maud's, Agnes Varda's Lion's Love, Paola Pier Pasolini's Pigpen, and Bo Widenberg's Adelen '31.

A Time reporter called Reagan "Hollywood handsome and remarkably youthful in appearance", a candidate who had "rattled political seismographs from coast to coast."

A waxing practice that removes all of the pubic hair, unlike a Brazilian which leaves a small strip behind.

If you ask the woman who does your waxing she will tell you that everyone is asking for Brazilians or Hollywoods, including Gwyneth Paltrow […]
