20．Hollywood
To many people，the word Hollywood has two meanings．（56）D．Second，Hollywood is also the US movie industry．

The next thirty years were Hollywood‟s greatest years．Thousands of movies were made，most by a few large and powerful studios．（59）E．
Hollywood also reached its high point in these years．Many famous movie stars，like Bette Davis and Clark Gable，lived in Hollywood．
（60）B．More movies are made outside of Hollywood．Many studios have moved．The movie stars have also moved to areas like Beverly Hills and Malibu．
