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