Hollywood Hollywood is the name of a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, but it has become synonymous with moviemaking and American cinema. Hollywood is also sometimes referred to as “Tinseltown”. It is so popular that a similar term (Bollywood) was created to describe the popular Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai (Bombay), India. The Hollywood sign is a famous landmark in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles. It was erected in 1923 as an advertisement, but it became so popular that it was left up permanently.
