Personal items from the estate of late actor Matthew Perry are scheduled to go up for auction next month, with proceeds benefiting his nonprofit foundation. Multiple outlets report that the sale includes “Friends” memorabilia such as original episode scripts, along with photographs and other items connected to Perry’s life and career. The Guardian adds that the auction also features a custom Batman ping-pong table and a replica of the peephole from the show’s apartment set, along with a Banksy artwork replica.
The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Rolling Stone state that the auction is held in partnership with Heritage Auctions and is linked to Perry’s foundation, which focuses on reducing the stigma around addiction and supporting recovery efforts. Rolling Stone and The Guardian specify that the event is in Dallas.
Variety notes that the “Friends” items include a collection of 26 scripts for specific episodes. The Los Angeles Times and other outlets describe the auction as a charity sale intended to raise funds for the Matthew Perry Foundation, which was established after Perry’s death.
