Looking for a book set in celebrity culture or old Hollywood. I adore Taylor Jenkins Reid, the vibes of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. Also loved City of Girls.
Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. Not quite centered around Hollywood, but I think it fits the vibe you’re looking for.

The lonely hearts hotel by heather oneill not exactly “Hollywood” but set in that time period the two main characters are stars…they are orphans who grow up to make and star in their own traveling show … but it gives off Evelyn Hugo vibes majorly.

James Ellroy’s “LA Quartet” is about the seedier side of Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s. The first novel is THE BLACK DAHLIA.
