Hollywood is an unincorporated community in southern Dunklin County, Missouri, United States.[1] It is located less than a mile from Route 164 about twelve miles south of Kennett.

Hollywood had its start ca. 1898 when the railroad was extended to that point.[2] The community was named for the holly near the original town site.[2] A post office called Hollywood was established in 1898, and remained in operation until 1974.[3]
