Interview with Cody from Survivor 43 Why are you here on Survivor?I am here to play Survivor to win a million dollars! I live in Hawaii, and it’s sure expensive. So I could use the money.

While the movie franchise kicked off in 2005, Perry had been portraying Madea long before that in his traveling plays. After attending a performance of Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Oprah Winfrey brought Perry on her show in 2001. Of course, the rest is history, but what—or who, rather—inspired the oh-so-relatable grandma known for telling it like it is? “Madea is a cross between my mother and my aunt,” Perry once told 60 Minutes....
