Lala Sloatman is an American actress. Her uncle was the musician Frank Zappa and her cousins are Ahmet, Diva, Moon, and Dweezil Zappa.[citation needed] She is frequently billed by her first name only and sometimes as Lala Zappa.

Career

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 the part went 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]

Personal life

Sloatman dated Haim in the late 1980s and C. Thomas Howell in the early 1990s. She has a daughter, Lula. Sloatman was married to Chris Robinson, the lead singer of The Black Crowes, from 1996 to 1998.[3]
