Can we pick a better photo

I know there are some limitations on what photos we can use based on licensing, But typically once people die the recent photo is replaced by an image of the person at their prime.

Do we have a photo of Perry from the 1990s? It's the decade he's best to remember from. Alternatively, one from post-2004, when he said he started seeking treatment. 219.89.63.45 (talk) 10:30, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add death and cause of death to lede

Matthew Perry's 2006 film

The Ron Clark Story

Released in 2006 is missing from his film credits. This was one of his best films. Please make this correction. Thank you 2604:3D09:2A7A:4600:3888:6BCB:D7B4:6938 (talk) 04:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was a made-for-TV film, so it is listed in the Television section. Cullen328 (talk) 04:37, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
