Best friends as well as twins, the celebrity cook and artist have weathered depression, dementia and death.
Joanna and Simmone Logue, artist and celebrity cook respectively, were born fraternal twins 60 years ago but believe they’re actually identical. They’ve supported each other through depression and death, success and new love.
In her mid-30s, Joey suffered a terrible depression. I knew how bad it felt and just wanted to take the pain away. I did a deal with God: if she got better, I’d give up – everything. I told her that it would pass in time and it did. We’ve always been able to lift each other during these episodes.In 1997, Joey and I bought a property at Essington Park and we renovated the whole place. We wanted it to be somewhere we could call home, no matter what we were doing or whom we were with.
If Joey’s home or I’m over there visiting, we wait for the boys to get up and then I hop into her bed with tea. I hope I go first; I won’t cope with losing her.Joanna: Simmone introduced me to her ballet friends and one of them, Jan Pinkerton, became my close friend and then my romantic partner for the next decade and a half. During the pandemic, Jan was dying of cancer and I couldn’t get back to Australia. Simmone helped Jan’s wife and cousin nurse her and was a conduit between us at the end. I have no words to describe how spiritually powerful that was for me and how grateful I was.
