Dziena was born in New York City and is of Irish, Italian and Polish descent.[1] She attended the private Saint Ann's School alongside her Bringing Rain (2003) costar, Paz de la Huerta. She spent many of her summers growing up in the small South Jersey shore town of Sea Isle City. Also, during high school, she attended classes at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and appeared in plays there as well.
Dziena made her acting debut in TNT's Witchblade (2002).[2] Guest roles followed in other series, such as Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Joan of Arcadia. One of her first major roles was in the Lifetime channel original film She's Too Young (2004),[2] in which she portrayed a sexually active teenager. In the ABC television series Invasion, she played the sheriff's daughter, Kira Underlay. Dziena also appeared frequently on the sixth season of the HBO series Entourage (2009).[2]
Alexis earned the role of Lolita in the movie Broken Flowers starring Bill Murray in 2005 where she played the daughter of a character played by Sharon Stone. She played Heather, a sexually frustrated young woman in a loving relationship who takes part in a couple swap as part of therapy in the film Sex and Breakfast.[2] She also co-starred in the films Fool's Gold (2008) and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008).[2]
In 2022, Without Ward came out, but Dziena shot her scenes in 2012.[3]
Dziena was in an on-and-off relationship with Michael Pitt from 2000 to 2004.[4][5][6] They appeared together in Joey Ramone's music video for What a Wonderful World in 2002.
In September 2011, Dziena attempted to get a restraining order against her parents, claiming that she was living in fear of them resorting to "murder or violence" to access her money. Her request was declined by a judge later that month as she had insufficient evidence to support her allegations.[7]
In June 2014, Dziena's ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Francis Ausley was granted a restraining order against Dziena after she showed up at his house with a bag of clothes and announced that she was moving in. Ausley also alleged that she threatened to harm both of them if he ended their relationship.[8]
