Lee was born Claudia Lee Mirkowski in Lafayette, Indiana,[1] to Denise and Klaudius Mirkowski. At the age of 3, her parents enrolled her in dance classes, where she studied ballet, jazz and tap-dancing for 10 years. When she was 8 years old, Lee expressed a desire to learn her father’s native language, Polish, so her parents sent her to school in Poznań, Poland for one month every summer for five years. Claudia also has an older brother who with whom she shares a "great bond" and influences her characters.
Long interested in music, Lee began taking piano lessons when she was 10. At age 13, she attended the (SOCAPA) summer camp in Vermont. There, her roommate introduced Lee to an agent from Hollywood who was instrumental in bringing her to Los Angeles.
