Surprise, an unplanned entrance. Although I already working on Steedumbrella, right now suddenly I came across important news about actress Elizabeth Sellars (while I was in searching the material for VK Avengers group).
Elizabeth Sellars
Actress, played Laura in Avengers episode Take-Over (1969).
This is indicated in almost all respect sources that Elizabeth was born May 6, 1923 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Sometimes you can find information for 1925. I always considered this known version (born in 1923) quite convincing, due there was a topic on the Britmovie forum about the actress.
So what motivated me to research that maybe I would never have done if not an accident?
In one newspaper I found mention of that 39-year old actress Elizabeth Sellars married Francis Henley in 1960.
Stop! 39 year old?  That is, according to the newspaper, she was to be born in 1921 or 1920. Very curious.
I started research and... here is how, actually, I could not find confirmation that our Elizabeth M Sellars was born in 1923. There were possible options for 1921.
In the end, I came to the answer and even found a website that confirmed my results.
Thuth is here:
https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Sellars,_Elizabeth
Full name: Elizabeth McDonald Sellars
Born: May 6, 1921 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
If Elizabeth is still alive in this case she is the oldest living actress who participated in The Avengers (according to my studies).
Information will soon posted on IMDb:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0783288
P.S./ If you are wondering who is the oldest confirmed live actor who participated in The Avengers, person named Geoffrey Chater. Born: March 23, 1921 in Chipping Barnet, Hertfordshire, England, UK

Finally, the right information for:
Anne Rutter
Actress, who played Betty in Avengers episode "Super Secret Cypher Snatch" (1968)...
...and Control Room Operative in Avengers episode "Homicide and Old Lace" (1969).
In last time IMDb indicates that her real name is Dianne Rutter and she born in 1947 in Runcorn, Cheshire, England, UK.
In fact it turned far from the truth.
Full name: Pamela Anne Rutter

Married: actor Malcolm Taylor (1969 - 2012) (his death) (2 childs)
Studied in Buckinghamshire New University since 1957, became an actress in the first half of the 1960s.

Here's how, interesting, it is possible that all other extras in the same episode appeared somewhere in The Avengers, too.

IMDb still did not have any biographical data for...:
Christopher Driscoll
...until today.
Actor, who played Martin in TNA episode "Angels of Death" (1977).
Fandom of TV series Doctor Who indicated that the actor died in 2015, but in different sources mentioned different years of his birth, 1941 or 1946. I decided to conduct my own investigation and found certain confirmation. As a result:
Full name: Christopher Denis Driscoll
Born: December, 1945 in Essex, England, UK
Married: Helen Pettitt (1992 - 27 May 2015) (his death)
Died: May 27, 2015, in Emsworth, Hampshire, England
Part of this info is already posted on IMDb:

Suddenly I fell on the trail...
Gregory Scott
Actor, played a waiter in Avengers episode "Box of Tricks" (1963).

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0761796/
...with whom he played together in some film works.
Real name: Alphaeus Moseley.
Born: August 5, 1913.
Married: Joan Sanderson (1948 - 24 May 1992) (her death)
Died: October 25, 1992 in Norfolk, England, UK.
