Tyler Perry's rags-to-riches story unfolds in the first trailer for the upcoming documentary Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story.
The Big Picture Amazon today released the first trailer for the documentary Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story and it offers a look into the life and success of one of this generation's most prolific, and controversial, creators.
Perry is a billionaire film and television creative and actor who notably created the popular Madea character along with a host of other films and television series like House of Payne, Meet the Browns, and A Jazzman's Blues. Before he became a household name, however, he was Emmett Perry Jr., a young man stuck in a home with an abusive father who subjected him to constant horrors.
Whatever you think of Perry's work, his rags-to-riches story is one of triumph against awful odds and tribulations including the eventual death of his mother Willie Maxine Perry who inspired him. To attest to that, Maxine's Baby has a host of special guests including Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King who both appear in the trailer.
What's Next for Tyler Perry? Maxine's Baby will release at the perfect time as Perry is preparing for a big feature-length return. First up on the docket for the director is the starry Six Triple Eight, his fourth film at Netflix which will bring the story of the all-black, all-female 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion to life.
Maxine's Baby: The Tyler Perry Story premieres on Paramount+ on November 17. Check out the trailer below.
