Another great list from LA City Nerd, who has started compiling a roster of statues and busts found in the City of Los Angeles. (That includes Lincoln the Lawyer, above, erected in 1926 at Lincoln Park.)

Some of the ones that the 'Nerd highlights:
County Court House/Civic Center:
Joseph Scott
George Washington

Staples Center:
Ervin "Magic" Johnson
Wayne Gretsky

Olvera Street:
Fr. Junipero Serra
Carlos III, King of Spain

El Cura Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla
Florence Nightingale

There, of course, are many more. The LA City Nerd also asks readers to help fill in the blanks.
