Kenneth Anger recently turned 95. Is anyone else living who made films in the 40s?

Also if he was really in A Midsummer Night's Dream (disputed) he's one of the few people alive who were in films in the 1930s. 104-year-old Marsha Hunt would be another in that small group.

If you allow a loose interpretation of "made" and "films", according to the IMDB link above, both Peter Brook and Mel Brooks got their first credits as writers for TV in 1949.

I was thinking more first directing credit.
