Lala Sloatman was born Lala Cassandra Sloatman in Winterpark, Florida on October 12, 1970. The name Lala is Hawiian for Laura and Lala is named after her grandmother, Laura who was born in Hawaii, and still lives there. She has one younger brother, John Sloatman IV, who is 12 years her junior.
Lala remains active with various movie productions, most recently as a costumer (aptly, since her mom is a dress designer). [October 2006]
