Released in 1975, The Who's rock opera Tommy - The Movie features Tina amongst a star studded cast, portraying The Acid Queen - an erratic prostitute who deals in prophetic LSD. Reflecting on the role, Tina stated:

"Tommy was a whole new trip for me, getting into a room and turning into a madwoman... at first, I didn’t want to play the part of a prostitute. But it was a challenge, and it called for drama... That’s what acting is all about.”

Tina's second studio album, Acid Queen, released in 1975, was inspired by her role in this film.
