Inspired by his mom and grandmother, playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry created the unforgettable character of Mable "Madea" Simmons. The sassy septuagenarian has appeared in 12 movies, and numerous stage plays and has her own product line.
Madea first appears in Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which was adapted from Perry's play of the same name. The film follows Helen (played by Kimberly Elise), a successful lawyer who's just been unceremoniously dumped by her husband.
After she returns home to find him in the arms of another woman, Helen goes into hiding at her grandmother Madea's house. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of love, life, and family.
After the film's success, Perry adapted several more of his stage plays for the big screen, including Madea's Family Reunion, Meet the Browns, and Why Did I Get Married Too? In 2009, he took the character in a new direction with Madea Goes to Jail, in which she winds up behind bars after killing a guy who tried to attack a woman.
In addition to her movies, Madea has also appeared in a number of Perry's stage plays, including I Can Do Bad All by Myself, Madea's Big Happy Family, and A Madea Christmas. Most recently, she was the star of Boo! A Madea Halloween and its sequel, Boo 2! A Madea Halloween.
