Zarubica was a resident on Kirkwood Drive in Laurel Canyon during the late 1960s. She became associated with Frank Zappa and took on the mantle of the 'Suzy Creamcheese' identity, formerly carried out by Jeannie Vassoir on "Freak Out!"

She appears on "We're Only In It For The Money" and "Uncle Meat" and is mentioned in John Mayall's recording "2401" on his Laurel Canyon album.

Zarubica effected the introduction of Gail Sloatman to Zappa.
