Which Beyoncé film marked her acting debut as Foxxy Cleopatra?

Austin Powers in Goldmember marked Beyoncé's acting debut as Foxxy Cleopatra. The 2002 comedy, directed by Jay Roach, cast her opposite Mike Myers in the title role.

Foxxy Cleopatra is an FBI agent and Austin Powers's ally. The character is styled as a 1970s blaxploitation heroine, and Beyoncé also contributed the song “Work It Out” to the film's soundtrack.

Beyoncé later took prominent film roles in The Fighting Temptations, Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records, and Obsessed. Dreamgirls is especially associated with her acting career because it earned strong awards attention, but it was not her first film appearance.
