How about George Burns?  Cryonic suspension would work wonderfully
into his longevity/near-immortality schtick.  There's even a Far Side 
cartoon suggesting that Burns will still be around in an age when cars 
have been replaced by personal flyers.  Well, why not?

Alcor has flirted with the idea of giving a freebie to someone famous 
in order to generate some publicity, and I can't think of anyone more
appropriate.  Burns seems to pride himself on being open to new ideas
and keeping a young outlook on life; he might just go along with it.
