Born January 28, 1957, Harley Jane Kozak is an American actress. In 1982, she made her film debut with the horror film The House on Sorority Row. She also played a regular role on Santa Barbara’s soap opera Santa Barbara as Mary Duvall between 1985 and 1989. After appearing in Clean and Sober (1988), and When Harry Met Sally… (1989), she was cast in major studio films Parenthood (1989), and Arachnophobia (90).

In 1996, Kozak appeared in the mini-series Titanic along with Peter Gallagher and Catherine Zeta Jones. She played the role of Bess Allison, a mother who dies while searching for her missing baby at the time when RMS Titanic sinks. Kozak was originally chosen to play Karen Sammler in the TV show Once and Again. She filmed the pilot, but was asked to withdraw from the series when she became pregnant with her first child, because they did not want her character to be pregnant. The role went to Susanna Thompson. Also in 1996, Kozak portrayed a battered wife in a made for TV movie, Unforgivable, co- starring with John Ritter, and received praise for her “strong” performance. Kozak also appeared in “Cold Lazarus”, a first-season episode of Stargate SG-1, as Sara O’Neill. Kozak has written five novels: Dating Dead Men (2004), Dating Is Murder : A Novel (2005), Dead Ex (2007), and A Date You Can’t Refuse (2008), all of which feature greeting-card designer and amateur sleuth Wollie Shelley, a woman with very eccentric friends and family. The first three novels were published by Doubleday, a division of Random House, the most recent was published by Broadway Books following the restructuring of Doubleday. Dating Dead Men won an Agatha Award, an Anthony Award, and a Macavity Award for best first novel. Kozak’s fifth book is Keeper of the Moon, a paranormal romantic suspense novel.
Kozak attended the University of Nebraska–Lincoln for three semesters before relocating to New York City, where she worked as a waitress for ten years. During this period, she attended New York University’s Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 1980. Of her name, Kozak has said that “Harley” came from a former boyfriend, who owned a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and that she liked the nickname, later having her name legally changed.
Santa Barbara’s Mary was killed in an accident when a huge neon letter “C”, which she was holding, fell on her during an argument at the Capwell Hotel. Mary’s death caused so much anger among viewers that they began a letter- writing campaign to demand her return. They received so many letters, that they eventually admitted to their error and asked Kozak if she would return. Because she was already involved in other projects, she declined the offer. She was proud of her character’s unusual exit. She made a brief comeback in February 1989 as an angel in Heaven. From her role as Mary, Harley was awarded a Soap Opera Digest Award in 1987.
