No, no, no. Hollywood is not a city. It is one neighborhood in the
City of Los Angeles. 

And it is not devoted to The Industry. Its residential real estate is
pretty generic, houses for the kind of people who can afford to buy a
house (such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, who work in other parts of
town), apartments for the kind of people who can afford to rent
apartments, and quite a number of homeless people living on the
streets, or in public parks. To the extent that its commercial
districts are devoted to any one business, that would be selling
souvenirs to tourists. 

Depending on where one puts the boundaries of Hollywood, it contains
Paramount Studios, TV stations KTTV and KCET, the Pantages Theater
(live theater), the Directors' Guild building and theater (movie
theater) and a lot of agents and stuff have officies in its office
towers. 

The Music Center theaters, some offices, and a complex of rental sound
stages are Downtown. What used to be MGM Studios is in Culver City.
Most Industry players' offices (and homes) are in Beverly Hills. City
of Culver City and City of Beverly Hills are incorporated cities
separate from City of Los Angeles.

The highest concentration of studios (and of storefronts catering to
actors and scriptwriters) is in the near end of the San Fernando
Valley, Burbank and Glendale and North Hollywood and Studio City and
so on. Disney, Warner Bros, Univeral, NBC, and I feel sure I'm
forgetting someone.
