Hmmm, depends somewhat on how old you are and what your interests are, but here are some ideas:
1. Santa Monica beach, 3rd Street Promenade and pier.
2. Getty Villa and or Getty Center, Huntington Museum and Gardens, Norton Simon Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (not my first recommendation for an art museum)
4. Downtown LA (cool architecture): The Bradbury Building, Grand Central Market, Union Station, Disney Hall, the cathedral, The Biltmore Hotel
5. The La Brea Tar Pits (which are right next to the county art museum) and the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park.
6. Hike to the Hollywood Sign, walk the trail above Will Rogers' ranch house at Will Rogers State Park, or any other hike through the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.
7. Visit Paramount Ranch to see where Western movies were filmed outside. Or take a studio tour. I think Warner Bros. in Burbank does one.

Best places to stay would depend somewhat on which of these things you decided to do. Have fun!

One day Malibu Beach and Hollywood area, one day Griffith Park, one day Orange County, Newport Bch, and Laguna Bch. The one day to visit your favorite place.

Why is this tagged Nevada?
I agree that the Getty is so worth a visit.
