Subsequently, she appeared in films, including two Tyler Perry films, Meet the Browns ( 2008 ) and Madea Goes to Jail ( 2009 ), receiving an ALMA Award nomination for the latter.

She appeared for a short time as Sasha in the stage play version of Madea Goes to Jail in 2005 alongside Tyler Perry and Cassi Davis.

* In the successful play Madea Goes to Jail by Tyler Perry, Madea refers to the West End twice ; first she says she lives in the West End, then says to the " country pimp " to try to cross Lee street or come to the 4200 block of Avon Avenue.

Although Madea is featured as a costarring role in most of Perry's plays and films, including Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Madea's Family Reunion, Meet the Browns, Madea Goes to Jail, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, and most recently, Madea's Big Happy Family, she is not the protagonist, but the comic relief.

Madea's difficult background is seen in the film Madea Goes to Jail ( aka Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail, 2009 ), where it is revealed that Madea raised / supported her children by stripping, poledancing, and professional wrestling, among other things.

She is also stated to have a lifelong criminal record, beginning at age 9 with a charge of petty theft, progressing to illegal gambling at age 18, check fraud, identity theft, insurance fraud ( presumably related to her 9 deceased husbands ), assault and attempted murder, vehicle theft, smashing into other vehicles on roads ( as she did to the Cadillac CTS in Madea Goes to Jail ), and forklifting vehicles out of parking spaces ( such as what she had done to the Pontiac Solstice in Madea Goes to Jail ).

In Madea Goes to Jail, Madea helps out Sonny by letting him stay at her home rent-free.

The character is a towering, massive, elderly woman, with a fiercely vindictive nature about her, quick to not only stand up for herself but get even as well ; in fact, when asked why she felt the need to get somebody all the time, Madea answered: " Well when you gettin ' got and somebody done got you and you go get them, when you get em ', everybody's gon ' get got.

It's shown that Madea didn't care much for her ; in fact, not only does Madea claim she's happy Irene died, but she also says Irene probably died on purpose to get out of repaying Madea a loan.

Madea implies that she was glad when he died and that their marriage wasn't good.

Madea explains that Michelle did not know the father of Maylee and called her Maybe because she was sleeping with 4 or 5 men when she got pregnant.

Madea changed it to Maylee when she took her and Vianne out of the projects to raise them.

Madea had a choice to either do so or go to jail because she took off her house arrest bracelet that she wore in Diary of a Mad Black Woman.

Madea seems to have adopted Nikki permanently as she appeared in the very first episode of TBS television series Tyler Perry's House of Payne still being taken care of by Madea.

In the film Madea Goes to Jail, while in jail she attends an anger management church meeting under duress, then lectures all the women to stop being victims and whining.

* Madea's Witness Protection centers around Madea and her brother Joe ( both played by Tyler Perry, himself ) dealing with a wealthy white family living in their home, when the nerdy patriarch, George Needleman ( Eugene Levy ) has to enter the witness protection program after being framed for a Ponzi scheme and a Mafia family is out to kill him.

Incorrigible in her overreactive ways, Madea is constantly landing herself in court, anger management classes, house arrest, and even prison.

Cora thought that Johnny was her daddy until Class Reunion, in which Madea is reminded that Cora was the product of a one-night-stand with Leroy Brown during their prom in 1953, making her 62 years old in her first appearance, as well as Class Reunion when her parents attend their 50th class reunion.

His oldest daughter Helen is in her mid-to-late 30s during Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which makes him in his 50s, whereas Cora is only 50, being born in 1953 when Madea was 18.

This shows a natural propensity to disregard timelines humorously, because Madea herself is only in her mid-70s.

In Madea's Big Happy Family, Madea visits her niece Shirley ( Chandra Currelley ) to help her with her children and to tell them about her health-terminating issue.

The film also revealed that Madea has not had a driver's license for 38 years, although a suspended Georgia driver's license issued to " Simmons, Madea " is clearly shown onscreen.

Another person Madea is helping out is Bobby Mitchell, a total stranger who just got out of doing 12 years in prison for possession of drug paraphernalia – even though, according to him, it was his two older brothers and since he was the youngest they told him to say it was his and he did.

Madea tells Vianne thst she needs to go after her man and after a few minutes of hesitation she decides to go chase him down before he leaves, but as soon as she opens the door Bobby is standing right there.

In " Madea Goes to Jail " there is no apparent relation between Leroy Brown and Cora other than friends.

On another TBS series, Meet the Browns, Madea is said to be the mother of Cora Simmons, as the result of a one-night stand with the show's lead character, Leroy Brown.

Madea is made fun of many times by Mr. Brown and mentioned many times by daughter Cora.

Cora Simmons, Madea ’ s daughter, arrives and announces she is staying with her mother.

Madea ’ s next door neighbor, Leroy S. Brown, whom everyone calls Mr. Brown brings in Madea ’ s mail, says hi to Cora, who he hasn ’ t seen in a long time and leaves.

When Maylee and Keisha get back from the clinic, Madea has already heard about the abortion from Cora and lets both Keisha, for getting pregnant, and Maylee, for suggesting an abortion.

Other recordings include an adaption of Madea, Robert Louis Stevenson verses, and readings from The Bible.

He is known for creating, and performing in drag, the character Mabel " Madea " Simmons.

He has created many feature films, starting with Diary of a Mad Black Woman, in 2005, featuring Madea.

Mabel Simmons, commonly known as Madea, is a comedic, fictional character created and portrayed by Tyler Perry.
