Tina Sloan (born February 1, 1943) is an American actress, best known for originating and playing the part of Lillian Raines on the CBS daytime drama Guiding Light from 1983 until the show's final broadcast in 2009. Her previous leading roles on daytime television have included scheming Kate Thornton Cannell on Somerset (1974–76), troubled Patti Barron McCleary on Search for Tomorrow (1976–77), and Dr. Olivia Delaney on Another World (1980–81).

Sloan has said about the play:
Changing Shoes is a play about change. It's a play about finding the courage to transform yourself, to learn how to twinkle again after your lights have been dimmed. This play is for anyone who has ever stood in front of the mirror and asked, ‘Can I stay in the game?’ The answer is yes — you just have to change your shoes!
