Which film featured Beyoncé as Deena Jones?

Dreamgirls featured Beyoncé as Deena Jones.

The 2006 musical film, directed by Bill Condon, was adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical of the same name. It follows a fictional Detroit singing group called the Dreams as it moves from the R&B club circuit into mainstream success during the 1960s and 1970s.

Beyoncé played Deena Jones, the group’s initially shy lead singer. The character’s story is loosely associated with the history of popular female vocal groups, but Dreamgirls is not a literal biography of the Supremes or any other single act. Jennifer Hudson played Effie White, and Jamie Foxx played Curtis Taylor Jr.

The film’s songs included “Listen,” performed by Beyoncé, and “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” performed by Hudson. Hudson won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, while Beyoncé’s performance helped expand her reputation as a film actor and vocalist.
