In which film did Beyoncé play the role of Deena Jones?

Beyoncé played Deena Jones in the 2006 film Dreamgirls.

Dreamgirls is a musical drama directed by Bill Condon and adapted from the stage musical of the same name. Beyoncé portrayed Deena Jones, a singer who becomes the lead performer of the fictional group the Dreams. The cast also included Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, and Anika Noni Rose.

The story is fictional, but it draws on elements associated with the rise of Motown and girl groups in the 1960s. Deena’s character is often discussed in relation to the group’s changing lineup, commercial ambitions, and the tension between artistic identity and industry control.

Beyoncé also recorded songs for the soundtrack, including “Listen,” which became one of her notable film-related performances.
