Career

A year later, Sloatman likewise auditioned for the title role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer but lost out to Kristy Swanson.[2]
Sloatman's additional movie work includes Bunny Bunny Bunny (a short film which co-starred her cousin Moon Zappa 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).[3]
Personal life
editSloatman dated Haim in the late 1980s and C. Thomas Howell in the early 1990s. She has one daughter. Sloatman was married to Chris Robinson, the lead singer of The Black Crowes, from 1996 to 1998.[4]
