In 1947 she met Jack Kerouac in Bakersfield, California and the two began a brief relationship.
•
In 2012, a film version of Kerouac's book was produced by Francis Ford Coppola and directed by Walter Salles in which Kozera (as "Terry") was portrayed by Alice Braga.
•
She was the inspiration for the character "Terry" (or "Terry, the Mexican girl") in Jack Kerouac's 1956 novel, On the Road.
•
Kozera was unaware that their brief relationship had become the subject of Kerouac's novel - described as "the book that defined a generation" - until she was contacted in 2010 by author Tim Z. Hernandez.
