Top Voted Definition for #hollywood

The moniker ascribed to the entertainment business located (primarily) in California. The name comes from the neighborhood in Los Angeles that was the early "home" of the US film industry. The name allegedly came from the mis-pronunciation of "I'm hauling wood" by a Chinese worker to H.J. Whitley (the father of Hollywood) who heard it as "I holly-wood".
