Mabel "Madea" Simmons is the matriach and main protagonist of the numerous "Madea" films. She is Tyler Perry's most famous character. She has 4 brothers, Frederick, Joe, Heathrow, and Willie, who she briefly married and one sister, Irene. She has 3 children, Michelle, William, and Cora.

Who is Cora in the Madea movies?

Tamela Mann (Cora) Tamela Mann picks back up her role as Cora Simmons, a lively but comparatively straight-laced part of Madea's family. Mann has played this role on and off since the early 2000s. She's also appeared in movies like Computer Love and Soul Santa. In the real world, she's married to David Mann.
Madea runs the family alongside her brother, Uncle Joe, who is frequently blunt and inappropriate. Both Madea and Uncle Joe are played by the iconic — and unrecognizable — Tyler Perry. Perry has made an incredible name for himself in film and TV history, serving as an actor, producer, and director.
