THE LOSS LINGERS –
Oct. 24, 2024 – Perry’s younger sister, Caitlin Morrison, 43, and his stepfather Keith Morrison, 77, have broken their silence nearly one year after the star’s tragic passing. The ‘best thing’ Matthew taught Caitlin was ‘that no matter how many times you fail, you haven’t failed until you stop trying.’
Along with Caitlin – who was his half-sister – Matthew had four other siblings: half-sisters Emily Morrison, Maria Perry, Madeline Morrison and half-brother, Will Morrison.
In the late actor’s memoir titled: Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, he opened up about his relationship with Caitlin, penning that he ‘loved her instantly’ when she was born.
On the official website for the Matthew Perry Foundation of Canada, Caitlin gave insight into her relationship with the 17 Again star.
In the bio section, she was described as ‘Matthew’s kid sister – a wide-eyed girl who thought (still thinks) her brother was the coolest human being who has ever existed.’
It was also revealed what she had ‘learned’ from Perry, including ‘how to butter popcorn correctly, how to “edit” a report card and how to perform “Who’s on First” with perfect comedic timing.’
