Have you tried searching NoveList? I came up with a list of 250 titles. Try
searching on "Film actors and actresses", "Film industry", and/or
"Hollywood, California".

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not, so if it has please
excuse my repeating it. I haven't read this book, but I thoroughly enjoyed
the movie and another novel by Ellroy, "American Tabloid". The part I'm
pasting from Amazon mentions some other authors and titles as well.
From Amazon:
James Ellroy's L.A. Confidential is film-noir crime fiction akin to
Chinatown, Hollywood Babylon, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Jim
Thompson. It's about three tortured souls in the 1950s L.A.P.D.: Ed Exley,
the clean-cut cop who lives shivering in the shadow of his dad, a legendary
cop in the same department; Jack Vincennes, a cop who advises a Police
Squad- like TV show and busts movie stars for payoffs from sleazy Hush-Hush
magazine; and Bud White, a detective haunted by the sight of his dad
murdering his mom.
Hope this helps,
Cherry Young

Why are you limiting it to fiction books? The best Hollywood books that
I've read are all non-fiction. You might want to include a few non-fic
titles like:
-Hollywood Babylon by Kenneth Anger
Loads of trashy movie star gossip from the silent era to
the early 1960s.
-An Empire of Their Own; How the Jews invented Hollywood by Neil Gabler
How Louis B, Mayer, Samuel Goldwyn and others created the
