I might be the most naive person in the world, but I hear so many stories about people given X amount of time to live, who live far longer. Often ascribed to the prayers of the local community - which spooks me, as it means God's plan is not ineffable, and also that those who die young just didn't get together enough petitions to bother Him.

Anyway, naif as I am, my list is pretty static.
This is the reason I buy Lucky Dip lottery tickets - I'd hate to play the same numbers regularly, and then miss it one week - and find they'd WON!
So I can't really abandon my staples - they'd cark in 2011 just to spite me. The main exception is Clive Dunn, as he is apparently going to live forever.

Ronnie Biggs
Fidel Castro
Margaret Thatcher
Patrick Moore
Mickey Rooney
Kim Jong-Il
Nancy Reagan
Zsa Zsa Gabor
