Tiana Alexandra-Silliphant (born Du Thi Thanh Nga, August 11, 1956) is a Vietnamese-American actress and filmmaker. Her indie movie From Hollywood to Hanoi[1] was the first American documentary feature film shot in Vietnam by a Vietnamese-American. Tiana's life's work, Why Viet Nam? is about her personal story as a child of war and a widow of peace.

Alexandra made her feature film debut in Sam Peckinpah's The Killer Elite (1975), co-written by her husband Stirling Silliphant. Currently, Alexandra is the director of Hampton-Silliphant Productions with Sir Christopher Hampton.
