Hollywood Novels

A complete contrast to my recent "A Lifetime's Reading" challenges.
"This is a list of Hollywood novels i.e. fiction about the American film and television industry and associated culture. The Hollywood novel is not to be confused with the Los Angeles novel, which is a novel set in Los Angeles and environs but not overtly about the movie business and its effect on the lives of industry participants and moviegoers." (Wikipedia)
The list is ordered alphabetically by the author's surname. I have added a few titles to the Wikipedia list.
