Which Beyoncé film role did she play in the 2006 musical drama Dreamgirls?

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 member of the fictional singing group the Dreams. The story follows the group's rise in the music business during the 1960s and examines ambition, image-making, and exploitation.

Jennifer Hudson played Effie White, the group's original lead singer, while Anika Noni Rose played Lorrell Robinson. Jamie Foxx portrayed manager Curtis Taylor Jr., and Eddie Murphy played performer James “Thunder” Early. These characters are fictional, although the film draws on patterns associated with the history of Motown and girl groups.

Dreamgirls was released in December 2006. Beyoncé recorded songs including “Listen” for the film's soundtrack, while Hudson won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The role was one of Beyoncé's most prominent early film performances and came after her appearances in Austin Powers in Goldmember and The Fighting Temptations.
