Mr. Hollywood Jr., 1947 is the fifth album by Michael Penn; it was released in 2005 on Mimeograph Records (Penn's United Musicians label), licensed to SpinART Records. The album reflects Penn's fascination with events taking place in 1947, which he describes as "the year everything changed."
The album's title comes from that of a Raymond Lark painting that Penn found at a swap meet and was determined to use as the album's cover; however, due to Lark's recent death, Penn could not get the rights to do so.
