However, the plays do not seem to acknowledge this as Mr. Brown is not Cora's father after he was given a paternity test on the show Maury. In the film Madea's Big Happy Family, it is confirmed that Mr. Her ages in the other plays are not revealed, though, she is still in her fifties in each. She is shown to be much older in Family Reunion, having grayish hair, meaning it does not take place chronologically before Meet the Browns in which Cora states she is fifty-two. In the plays, Cora is first 50 years old in I Can Do Bad All by Myself and Class Reunion. If the latter is true, this would mean Cora has a total of 4 daughters and 3 grandchildren. It is not specified if these are the same daughters from Madea‘s Family Reunion that we’re just revamped into different characters with different backstories, or if they are just 2 more daughters that Cora had that are never mentioned in earlier plays. In Madea’s Farewell Play, Cora has two daughters named Lisa & Tina. She refers to her daughters in Meet the Browns when Brown tries to lecture her on men. She also has a granddaughter by Tina, a baby her daughter neglects to care for at times. Cora goes on to appear in other plays as well, revealing she has two adult daughters of her own, Tina (Brown) Simmons and Lisa (Brown) Simmons in Family Reunion who were raped by her late husband, unknowingly to her. Brown was the one who would take Cora to church when she was a young girl. As it is mentioned in the Meet The Browns play, that Mr. Cora is a devout Christian, no thanks to Madea of course. She gives them Godly wisdom, and attempts to lead them down the right path while avoiding the aggressive methods of her mother. In the play, Cora first appears in I Can Do Bad All by Myself as the middle-aged Aunt of her two nieces, Maylee and Vianne. 4 cousins named Bam portrayed by Cassi Davis, Shirley portrayed by Chandra Curelley, Sheila portrayed by Cheryl Pepsii Riley, and Sonny portrayed by Christian Keys.
