Better telescopes show that "Polaris" is actually several stars, but the one you must have in mind is a supergiant, so its lifespan will be short, perhaps as little as another million years.
The one worth watching is Arcturus, not too far away (angularly); it should go supernova in the next 5-10,000 years. Could be tonight.
