My sister-in-law lives in Newport Beach Orange county and we will be going there on Good Friday.
What things are the most important things to see. (in order)
I'm not looking for a lie on the beach as nice as it might be, I can do that in France. I'm looking for sightseeing things to do as I'm only there for a short time.

There are a ton of things you can do in Orange County/LA area. The most touristy spot will be Disneyland, while fun, it will be very crowded. Spend a morning up in LA at the LA County Museum of Art, have lunch at the farmers market, see the Getty Center in the afternoon with it's great views, and hang out at the Santa Monica Pier in the evening. Be sure to take a ride on the ferris wheel and play some carnival games. It will be a busy day, but a lot of fun. You could take a boat out to Catalina and spend the day shopping. Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills is where all the celebrities shop. Have lunch at Fred Segal and make a day people watching. Laguna Beach has a lot of little shops, art galleries and restaurants. If you want some California history, the Mission in San Juan Capistrano is a good place to see and learn. Olvera Street in Los Angeles is a fun place to see and learn about California history as well. It will be baseball season, so check out a Dodger or Angel game, complete with a hot dog and beer.
A lot of these suggestions are personal taste. Check out some websites for some more ideas. Frommers usually has great tips.

Just Newport or L.A.? because i would recommend Hollywood if you come up here in in LA. Downtown In day time is always a fun place to visit too.
