There have been manydevastating first reactions after Matthew Perry’s deathrocked Hollywood and shocked the world.
He was also very open about taking responsibility for the ways in which he failed his former partners.
It was clear that Perry felt apologetic about how his battle with addiction affected his relationships throughout his life.
The way he spoke about one relationship, in particular, stuck out in this way.
In 1996, Perry started dating producer and studio executive for television, Jamie Tarses.
She was so important to him, in fact, that he gave her a very special shoutout.
Tarses had been a major part of the development of the series.
The pair allegedly began dating two years later in 1996.
He wrote that this also had a lot to do with why their romance ultimately ended.
Her death came a few months after she had a stroke that left her in a long coma.
She was just 56 years old at the time of her death.
Just a year after the release of his book, Perry was found dead at the age of 54.
