Tyler Perry is best known for his films, but he started out as a writer. Many of Perry's films are based on plays he authored, and here is where the character of Madea first came to life. Perry, on the other hand, didn't set out to be a writer. He was motivated by what he heard on Oprah Winfrey's show — that writing may be a therapeutic tool — after dealing with despair and a childhood of abuse. As a result, he began writing a series of letters about his highly personal issues. Perry eventually accumulated enough of these letters to feel compelled to share them with the rest of the world.
Last year, Netflix aired Perry's thriller 'A Fall From Grace,' which he wrote and directed. In the first month after its release, the picture was seen by 39 million homes. Perry is also writing, directing, and producing the Netflix film 'A Jazzman's Blues,' which has yet to be released. Madea may be the most well-known aspect of Perry's artistic output, but it's far from his only project.
