She first appeared in the 199 9 music video for Case's " Happily Ever After", after which she made her film debut as the lead in the direct-to-video musical Carmen: A Hip Hopera (2001). Beyoncé's first solo music video was the soundtrack single " Work It Out" for the Mike Myers James Bond parody film Austin Powers in Goldmember, which is also her debut theatrical feature film. After Destiny's Child—a girl group of which Beyoncé was a member—went on hiatus, she released in 2003 her first music video as a solo artist for " Crazy in Love" (featuring Jay-Z) from Dangerously in Love. It won three awards at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, including Best Female Video. Other videos from the album included for the singles " Baby Boy", " Me, Myself and I" and " Naughty Girl" in 2003 and 2004.

In 2006, Beyoncé starred in two films: The Pink Panther, which spawned the single " Check on It" and its pink-themed video, and the musical drama Dreamgirls, which earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress nomination. From her second solo album B'Day (2006), she released the music videos for " Déjà Vu", which proved controversial, " Irreplaceable", which garnered her an MTV Video Music Award nomination, and " Beautiful Liar" with Colombian singer Shakira. Beyoncé created a video anthology for the album, with music videos for all songs. The year 2008 saw the release of her third album, I Am... Sasha Fierce, which spawned music videos for nearly all of its songs, including " If I Were a Boy", " Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and " Ego". The black-and-white video for "Single Ladies" inspired a dance craze and many imitations worldwide, winning several accolades, including the MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year. Beyoncé ended the decade with the lead role in the thriller film Obsessed (2009) and a collaboration with Lady Gaga on the video for " Video Phone"; they later worked on Gaga's " Telephone" in 2010, which was shot as a short film.

Dexter is an American television drama that was broadcast on the premium cable channel Showtime from October 1, 2006, to September 22, 2013. A total of 96 episodes of Dexter were broadcast over eight seasons. The series is based on characters created by Jeff Lindsay for his "Dexter" series of novels. The series follows the life of Dexter Morgan ( Michael C. Hall), a Miami Metro Police Department blood pattern analyst with a double life. While investigating murders in the homicide division, Dexter hunts and kills murderers and criminals who have escaped the justice system. Although the first season is based on the events of Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the series' subsequent seasons do not follow the novels in the series. Departing from the narrative of Lindsay's second Dexter novel Dearly Devoted Dexter, the show's writer Daniel Cerone said that the writers "didn't see the opportunity in the second book" to adapt it.

The series has received generally favorable reviews from critics, while the second season received universal acclaim. The pilot episode, which aired in the USA on October 1, 2006, attracted more than a million viewers, giving Showtime its highest series ratings in nearly two years. Due to a dearth of original programming as a result of the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike, CBS began broadcasting Dexter in edited form on free-to-air television on February 17, 2008, thus making Dexter the first program in two decades to air on a national broadcast network after being shown on a premium cable channel. Eight seasons comprising twelve episodes each have been broadcast in the United States and abroad. All eight seasons have been released on DVD and on Blu-ray; box sets containing the first three seasons were released on August 18, 2009, on both DVD and Blu-ray. ( Full article...)
