Alexandra Wilson involved herself with the social aspects of school, performing and cheerleading at Chantilly High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. Wilson then studied theater and history at Broward Community College in the Miami area, but left after a year to avoid the drug scene.
Wilson's grandmother was one of the first Rockettes. Her mother (Elaine Wilson), an award-winning drama teacher at Chantilly High School, sparked her interest in acting, as early as age five. Wilson recounted her mother's influence: "She put me in some of her productions, and she taught me in high school. I was never sure I could do it, but I knew I had to be an actor."
After graduating from high school, Wilson held drama seminars for her mother's students. Later, Elaine Wilson would co-found and serve as President of The Alliance Theatre in Centreville, Virginia.
