[edit] Early Years
Sloan at a very tender age of five was interested in acting in theatre. Nine years spent in her life where basically revolved around acting (auditioning for plays). She was moving constantly, giving her major plays to attend and participate (whilst switching schools/countries/states). While in London and San Francisco, she starred in many films with her acting a success on stage (most recently Maria in West Side Story, Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof, and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet). Sloan still moves constantly for herself to pursue her career and continue acting in films and shows.
[edit] Current life
Her original plan of only spending a summer there was abandoned after immediately nabbing roles on the hit shows Judging Amy, General Hospital, and the independent film State's Evidence. That summer proved particularly successful for the intelligent Ms. Sloan, as she was accepted into an extremely prestigious academic High School only weeks before school was to resume. Transitioning beautifully from her low key, Northern California Public School life to one of academic rigor and the cutthroat industry, Whitney managed to shoot two films (Blue Demon and Glass Trap), star in a school production (Lilian Hellman's The Children's Hour"), and maintain remarkable grades for the duration of her sophomore year. Her most recent projects are Go Figure and Joint Custody. She is currently studying her S.A.T.s while living with her father in Los Angeles. She has many interests in law and may consider being an attourney of law.
