IMDb provides this list:

| Gielgud, John
| Harvey, Laurence (I)

I have defined "starring" as rank 1 - 4 in the credits
(counted separately for actors and actresses).
Concerning Fontaine, if you mean "Jane Eyre", I don't think Welles directed that.
I didn't "mean" anything, because I created the list by an SQL query
with IMDb data. But you are right, I made a mistake, because the
query demanded only a top 4 rank *either* in a Hitchcock *or* in a
Welles film, but not in both of them. And Fontaine is on the list,
because she starred in "Rebecca" and "Suspicion" and had an
uncredited part in "Othello".
Now I replaced an "or" with "and" in the query, and here is the
corrected list:
| Baxter, Anne (I)
| Cotten, Joseph (I)
| Gielgud, John
| Harvey, Laurence (I)
| Leigh, Janet (I)
| Perkins, Anthony (I)
| Redgrave, Michael
The real list might be a bit longer, because the query doesn't work
when the actors are credited in the IMDb in order of appearance or alphabetically.
