First of all, you don't say how old your daughter is. Second, you don't say what kind of show you have in mind. Third, you don't mention if this is something she really wants to do.
That said, we will start with the assumption that you would like her to become a professional actress. If that is the case, I would suggest that she start out in community theater. Once she has some experience under her belt, she can try out for summer stock companies, some of which do amateur productions with guest professionals in key roles. If she is involved in such a production, she can sound out the pro's for advice. Finally, if she wants to become a professional, she will need to get an Equity card at the very least, and be ready to pay hefty dues. However, an Equity card will open doors to myriad opportunities in theater and film.
Finally, there is no such thing as a 'perfect life'. The best we can hope for is to lead a life doing a job we love while earning a living. If that's your idea of a perfect life, I wish her all the best!

This question would make me much more comfortable if you had asked, "My daughter LOVES acting, and she's really thinking of studying it, maybe making a career doing what she loves. How can I help her get started?"
Instead you focused on her talent. In any case, auditions abound. Try to get her experience any way possible, to make sure she's ready for the kind of commitment acting demands. Community theatre is a great way to meet people and talk to other parents with contacts you can hopefully share. Beware of acting coaches for children who are not actively performing in theatre themselves.

Check your local paper or community news for open auditions for actors or singers. They can also hone their skills by doing community theater or other local plays and productions. Talent contests also.

Ever notice how those child stars have screwed up lives? Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Kirk Cameron? Just let them grow up and do what they want with their lives.
