Dennis Ritchie, one of the shoulders on which almost all computer programming (Unix, 'C' code, etc.) rests.

Betty Driver, famous for her long running role on the soap opera Coronation Street (over forty years). She was also in the first George Formby film of the 1930s (Boots! Boots!, albeit she was cut out until her scenes were restored much later on DVD) and in one of the lead roles of an early Carol Reed film from 1938, Penny Paradise (with Edmund Gwenn!)

He plays a nicely unhinged Heinrich in the already unhinged Possession.

Is there a character in that film who isn't unhinged?

The boy, I suppose - but he's probably mentally scarred for life.

In her honor, I will pray extra hard tonight for Criterion to hurry up already and release Lonesome.

It would have been great to get Lonesome during her lifetime. Maybe that was the last occasion to get a blu-ray silent with a living leading actor in it, unless someone release Mickey Rooney's shorts (have they survived?). I don't know who's still with us after that.

Not a leading actor, but Carla Laemmle, who had an uncredited role as a ballerina in the 1925 Phantom of the Opera, is still with us. She turned 102 four days ago.

And Carla has two films currently in post-production, according to imdb! I don't know what her current roles are like, but it seems she didn't start to get regular named parts in feature films until she turned 100, after a hiatus of about 70 years (maybe the longest in screen history?) Of course, that was after she'd appeared as herself in various documentaries.
