Dame Jools Topp - one-half of New Zealand’s celebrated double-act the Topp Twins - has died, following a 22-year journey with breast cancer. The Prime Minister was among those who paid tribute to the comedian, saying she made the country a happier place. The Topp Twins were once just two country kids from Huntly, but grew to become two of the most beloved entertainers in New Zealand. Molly Swift looks back at Dame Jools' life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuff NZ is New Zealand’s essential news source — bringing you live, lively and trustworthy journalism from every corner of Aotearoa.
