I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'dorothy's' is the first definition.
(nickname for someone called Dorothy)

'period in hollywood?' is the second definition.
'dot' can be an answer for 'period' (as in a full stop). I am unsure of the 'in hollywood?' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dot that I've seen before include "Very small circular shape" , "Speck; dowry" , "Shorter of the two signals used in Morse code" , "One signal used in Morse code" , "Internet punctuation mark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
