In the category of You Learn Something New Every Day: The mother of the late actor Matthew Perry was press secretary to Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
This is news to us because, and we admit it, we are totally out of the "Friends" loop. There are many sitcoms we never watched, and that's one of them. So we weren't up on the Perry parentage until now. (We've also learned that Matthew went to school with Justin, and beat him up in the fifth grade. Amazing!)
Here is Prime Minister Trudeau with Suzanne Perry in Ottawa, circa 1980. Makes you wonder: How many political leaders at the time had the moxie to employ a female spokesperson? (DeeDee Myers didn't come along until the Clinton Administration, in 1993.) We cats PURR.
