Tyler Perry discusses his new film, 'The Six Triple Eight,' which tells the true story of the only US army unit of black women sent to Europe during World War II.
Tyler Perry is a very busy man, the flurry of activity around him would make it abundantly clear. Perry’s accomplishments are as extensive as his workload.

The impressive lot includes realistic streets and a full-scale replica of the White House.

He is godfather to their daughter, Lilibet. It’s a huge step up for a performer who, in the 1990s, spent his life savings of $12,000 to stage and develop his first play at a community theatre.
