Sad News: Tyler Perry's Mother Passes Away!




My thoughts and prayers go out to Tyler Perry and his family.


Actor and producer Tyler Perry's mother, Willie Maxine Perry, has died at age 64.

"Willie Maxine Perry. February 12, 1945 to December 8, 2009. Thank you for all your prayers," a message on Perry's Web site said Tuesday.

Perry, 40, credited his mother, a preschool teacher in New Orleans, as the inspiration for his most popular character, Madea. He recently recounted details of his troubled childhood, including how his mother tried and failed to leave his abusive father.
