Julia & Suzanne Sugarbacker own Sugarbaker's Design Firm. Their support staff
includes Mary Jo Shively, a decorator/buyer; Charlene Frazier, the receptionist
[replaced by Carlene Dobber]; and Anthony Bouvier, the firm‘s delivery man [and
later partner]. Julia’s attractive suburban home served as both office and
showplace for their designs. Fabric World provided the Sugarbacker’s with all
their design supplies. In 1991 Suzanne sold her share in the business to her
cousin Allison Sugarbaker. In 1992, she pulled out her investment to open a
Victoria Secret franchise. This action left the firm [now called Sugarbaker and
Associates - Interior Design] on the brink of bankruptcy until Julia teamed up
with an eccentric wealthy widow named B.J. Poteet. Note: The house used as the
Sugarbaker's decorating firm is actually a museum known as Villa Marre located
at 1321 South Street (at 14th) in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Planet Krypton
Superman, a.k.a. Kal-el, is "a strange visitor from another planet with powers
and abilities far beyond those of mortal men." He lives incognito as a
mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent on the planet earth. Rocketed to Earth as an
infant by his parents Jor-el and Lara when the planet Krypton exploded, Kal-el
[Superman's Kryptonian name] landed on the planet Earth near Smallville, USA,
where he was adopted and raised by John/Eben and Sarah/Martha Kent, a childless
farm couple. Kal-el discovered he was superhuman, possessing the ability to fly,
see through objects with his X-ray vision (with the exception of lead), hear and
see things from tremendous distances, bend steel in his bare hands and retain
enormous bits of information via his super memory. His only weakness was the
radioactive-charged substance known as Kryptonite, fragments from the explosion
of his home planet. Prolonged exposure to this greenish element, would cause
weakness, unconsciousness and possibly the death of Superman. As an adult, Kal-el
moved to the city of Metropolis, USA and assumed the identity of Clark Kent, a
mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Planet, a great metropolitan
newspaper.
