Born in Winter Park, Florida, Sloatman's first name is the Hawaiian form of Laura. Her father is second-generation Marine John ("Dunt") Sloatman III , whose sister Gail was the wife of rock musician Frank Zappa. Sloatman ultimately moved to Santa Barbara, California, and after that to Los Angeles. She has numerous half-siblings on both sides of her family.
In the 1980s, Sloatman appeared in the films Watchers (1988) and Dream a Little Dream (1989), alongside her then-boyfriend Corey Haim.[1] Haim personally suggested her for the lead in a third movie, Prayer of the Rollerboys (1991), but she lost out to Patricia Arquette. Sloatman's additional movie work includes Bunny Bunny Bunny (a short film which co-starred her cousin Moon and Kyle Richards), Pump Up the Volume (1990), Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993, as Lauren Holly's college roommate), Buy One, Get One Free* (1996), Manfast (2003), Net Games (2003, as a sexy serial killer) and Sofia Coppola's Somewhere (2010).[2]
She dated Corey Haim in the late 1980s, and C. Thomas Howell in the early 1990s. Lala has a daughter, Lula. Sloatman was married to Black Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson from 1996 to 1998.[3][4]
