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. 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]
