She has an older brother. Her father's family is Polish, and while she speaks very little of their language, her father and grandparents are fluent.
Krakowski grew up immersed in the local theater scene as a result of her parents' activities, saying in one interview, "Instead of hiring baby sitters, they brought me along with them." She took ballet lessons at age four, but later stopped because she had the wrong body shape to perform such moves, instead moving more towards Broadway dancing. She attended Parsippany High School, and then the Professional Children's School in New York City and Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.
