Description: J.J. Starbuck, originally from Laredo, Texas, and a veteran of the D-Day invasion, was a self-made Texas billionaire who earned his fortune in oil and a variety of other investment ventures. Unfortunately, J.J.'s work had become his life, at the expense of his family. For most of the TV series, 60-something-year-old J.J. was basically a loner but would occasionally interact with his niece Jill (seemingly his only surviving relative).
