In the 2006 rom-com, Last Holiday, Queen Latifah portrays Georgia Byrd, a hard-working department store employee living in New Orleans. Georgia leads a very modest life: she saves all of her money, goes to church every Sunday, and only eats frozen dinners despite being a talented chef. After a work accident leads to a bump on the head, Georgia goes to a doctor where they perform a CAT scan and find several brain tumors. With only a few weeks to live, Georgia quits her job, takes all of her money out of the bank, and travels to the Czech Republic for a luxurious stay at the Grandhotel Pupp. She spends her savings on expensive clothes, eats everything on the restaurant menu, and takes adventurous risks (like skydiving and skiing a Black Diamond). Only with death looming over her does Georgia finally begin to live.
