Ralph is no stranger to the screen thanks to memorable roles on TV’s Instant Mom, Moesha, Smash, It's A Living, Ray Donovan and Designing Women and the film Sister Act 2 (“singing their shoulda-coulda-woulda's”). But when we hear Sheryl Lee Ralph, we think Deena Jones. Ralph received a Best Actress in a Musical Tony nomination for creating the role of Deena in the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls back in 1981. Take a moment and indulge in that infamous Tony clip—and just focus in on SLR’s slither into the scene at the 1:35.
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s really celebrate and honor Ralph’s Deena Jones with these 15 rare and stunning production photos from Martha Swope. #TBT.
