Hollywood a.k.a. Cinema is a geometric biform sans with round glyphs that are much wider than the rest. As far as I can tell, it was issued by FotoStar/Facsimile Fonts in the first half of the 1970s, as a close follower of Epic (1968) by Lettergraphics.

In 1974, Todd Sanders used the shaded style – Hollywood Shaded, or Cinema One – for an anthology of texts on American Government seen through the lens of science fiction, published by Rand McNally. It was compiled by Joseph D. Olander, Martin H. Greenberg, and Patricia Warrick.
