Hollywood Daffy is a 1946 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, starring Daffy Duck. The cartoon was written by Michael Maltese and was released on June 22, 1946. Friz Freleng was originally intended to direct the short, but ultimately pass the idea as he was unsatisfied with the story, and refused to draw the animation layouts. Hawley Pratt, Freleng's layout artist, was able to complete the short, though both men were left uncredited.
