Start small..act in community and school plays. That's how Emma Watson [ Hermione Granger from Harry Potter ] got started!
Good luck...
P.S. - Or make a video and put it on YouTube and hope that some casting director sees it and casts you in Oceans Thirteen or something...
P.P.S. - Don't forget to put your contacts there!
P.P.P.S. - Good luck! =P

The best place to start is community theatre. For the first few performances, you'll be painting sets or sweeping up but community theatres have classes and rehearsals that will teach you a lot. If you're still in school, sign up for all the plays and take theatre arts courses.
Your mirror is your best friend. Read monologues to yourself in the mirror and work on expression and movement.
Take classes... you can find them at college or in your local community.
If you are an actress, you'll find a way to act. It's something that burns in you.
Good luck :-)

Go sleep with everyone you can, and you might get to hold "Cue cards", then if you are good, sleep with more and more, then you might be able to become a "drag Queen" actress. I made that up.

It's true.Actresses spend 20% of their careers acting
the other 80% is spent on their backs.
