Céline is a 2008 television unauthorized film biopic about the life of Canadian singer Celine Dion. The film chronicles Dion's life from a young girl singing in her father's club, right through her career as a worldwide successful singer to the present day. It was directed by Jeff Woolnough.
Christine Ghawi, who played the lead role, claimed that she auditioned for the role by doing a campy, comedic lip sync performance to Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", as if she were a drag queen performing to the song in a bar.
