Legacy! Audio Film Review of ‘Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story’



![]() Rating: 5.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story” an intimate documentary – co-directed by insiders Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz – about the rags to riches story of the Entertainment Mogul known as “TP.” Currently on Prime Video.
Tyler Perry started with a dream to be a performer, which was rooted in his traumatic and desperately isolated childhood, so within this dedicated goal he created a stage play phenomenon, then a movie phenomenon, then a TV phenomenon, and now he’s currently one of the greatest entertainment moguls in the history of show business. But what was behind it all is intimated in the documentary … co-directed by TP insiders Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz … and much of it is due to the unshakable connection that Tyler had to his mother Maxine.
