Which film did Beyoncé portray Deena Jones in?

Beyoncé portrayed Deena Jones in the 2006 film Dreamgirls.

Dreamgirls is a musical drama directed by Bill Condon and adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name. The story follows a fictional female singing group called the Dreams and examines ambition, commercial success, and changes in American popular music. Deena Jones is the group's initially shy lead singer who becomes its central star.

Jennifer Hudson played Effie White, Jamie Foxx played Curtis Taylor Jr., and Eddie Murphy played James “Thunder” Early. Hudson won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance, while the film received eight Oscar nominations overall.

Dreamgirls is inspired by the history of Motown and groups such as the Supremes, but its characters and plot are fictional rather than a direct biography. Beyoncé also recorded music for the film, including “Listen,” which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Her role was acting, not a portrayal of a real historical singer named Deena Jones.
