Born Alexandra Ainsworth in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to a dentist father and an art teacher mother, Lexi began her career dancing on stage at an early age with Ballet Oklahoma. This later lead to her acquiring the lead role of Scout in an Actors Equity production of To Kill a Mockingbird. But it was after attending a film camp in New York that she developed an interest in film and television acting. Furthering this pursuit she acquired an LA agent who sent her out on her first national commercial audition which she subsequently shot for Barbie and negotiated the lead role of Caroline in the AFI short film Caroline Crossing. Since then she's played major roles in several films. As Molly in Universal's Feature film Wild Child, she played Emma Roberts little sister and subsequently acquired the lead in an independent film in which Eric Roberts portrayed her father. The film she says she is most proud of is A Girl Like Her in which she portrays the main character who is a victim of bullying. She has also acted in multiple TV shows. She guest starred and then recurred on Gilmore Girls but most is known for her current role as Kristina on General Hospital, which earned her an Emmy nomination at the age of 17. In between TV & film Lexi found time to further her studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London where she received accreditation in their Shakespeare program.
