Overview
- Heritage Auctions, which announced the sale Tuesday, opened proxy bidding and scheduled public previews for May 18–29 in Beverly Hills.
- The catalogue features 26 Friends scripts, cast‑signed pilot and finale scripts donated by Warner Bros., Perry’s replica yellow door frame, a photo album, and his 1995 SAG Award.
- Net proceeds will support the Matthew Perry Foundation’s initiatives, including an addiction‑medicine fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, grassroots recovery grants, and the Healing Appalachia sober music festival.
- The live event will run June 5 in Dallas and online, with additional lots spanning works by Banksy and Mel Bochner plus dozens of Batman items from Perry’s collection.
- Perry died in 2023 from the acute effects of ketamine, and recent guilty pleas and a supplier’s sentencing form the backdrop for the auction’s focus on science‑based care.
