Early life and education

Domińczyk was born in Kielce, the daughter of Aleksandra and Mirosław Domińczyk, a member of the Polish Solidarity movement. She moved with her family to New York City in 1983 as asylum seekers due to her parents' political associations (her father's involvement with Amnesty International and the Solidarity movement). She is the older sister of actresses Marika Domińczyk and Veronika Domińczyk.

Domińczyk was educated at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in Manhattan. She went on to study at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Drama, from which she graduated in 1998.
