Matthew Perry's estate is releasing intimate photographs from the cast's private farewell dinner in 2004 , the year Friends ended after ten seasons . The sale, according to the source report, includes more than 130 items and will direct proceeds to the Matthew Perry Foundation, a charity established after the actor's death in October 2023 to support those struggling with addiction. Perry, who played Chandler Bing, died at age 54 from a drug overdose.

The photo album Jennifer Aniston gave Perry after filming wrapped

At the centre of the auction is a leather-bound album titled The One With The Last Supper—a nod to Friends' signature episode-naming convention. According to the source, the album was believed to have been given to Perry by Jennifer Aniston and contains candid shots of the cast seated around a dining table. The album includes a handwritten note signed "Jenny," and photographs show Perry with co-stars Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer, as well as the show's co-creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman. The source notes that these photographs have never been publicly seen before, making them a rare window into how the cast marked the end of a cultural phenomenon that drew more than 50 million US viewers to its 2004 finale.

Signed scripts from the pilot and finale commanding five-figure bids

The auction includes signed scripts spanning the show's entire run. As the source reports, a script from the pilot episode featuring signatures from Perry, Aniston, Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and Schwimmer has already attracted bids of $15,000. The two-part finale script, titled The Last One, stands at $8,500, while a collection of Season Ten episodes—including The One With Ross's Tan and The One Where Joey Speaks French—sits at $3,600. These bids suggest strong collector demand for authenticated memorabilia tied to the show's legacy, even as the broader auction includes more personal items like Perry's Motorola flip phone, wallet, and navy Boss blazer.

What remains unclear about the estate's full scope and Perry's final months

While the source confirms that over 130 items from Perry's estate are being auctioned, it does not specify the total estimated value of the sale or provide details on how Heritage Auctions selected which items to include. The source also does not clarify whether the cast members or their representatives were consulted before their likenesses and signatures were put up for sale. additionally, although the source mentions that Jasveen Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen," was sentenced to 15 years in prison for supplying the drug that caused Perry's death, it offers no insight into whether any of the proceeds from this auction will be directed toward victims' advocacy or broader harm-reduction efforts beyond the Matthew Perry Foundation itself.

Perry's memoir and SAG Award among personal effects on the block

Beyond the Friends-related memorabilia, the auction includes a leather-bound copy of Perry's 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, in which he detailed his decades-long struggles with addiction. Also included is a 1995 Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. According to the source, Roberta Kramer of Heritage Auctions described the collection as "a combination of all kinds of things"—both professional and deeply personal. The juxtaposition of these items—the award, the memoir, the intimate dinner photos—creates a portrait of a man whose public success and private pain were inextricably linked, a tension that the charity's mission now seeks to address for others facing similar battles.
