First movie/last movie: Charlie Chaplin

The Kid (1921)
A Countess from Hong Kong (1967)
I'm only including features here, so I'm unfairly leaving out the 50+ short films he made before The Kid, many of them fantastic. By the way, the little kid in The Kid, Jackie Coogan, later went on to grow up and play Uncle Fester on "The Addams Family."
