Chinese linguist Zhou Youguang, father of the pinyn, would be a good choiche. I would also consider italian art critic Gillo Dorfles, Hungarian-Canadian chess player Zoltan Sarosy, Mexican actress Lupita Tovar. I'm joking, none of them will make it to 2017!
But I still think Jonathan Demme will not live many years... and I think the same thing about Roger Corman, Kenneth Kaunda, Dawda Jawara, Abdoulaye Wade (random guys), H D Stanton, M Emmett Walsh.
