The most recent example of this I saw was Noomi Rapace in the movie What Happened to Monday (2017),where she played seven identical sisters (each one named after a day of the week). Tatiana Maslany would have to be the undisputed Queen of playing multiple roles on TV, as she played many different clones in the series Orphan Black. She even voiced the talking scorpion (Pupok), which Helena hallucinated... Until she ate it... And this^ isn’t even counting the times when she’d play a clone pretending to be another clone. Anna Torv played Agent Olivia Dunham and Alternate Olivia (who some referred to as 'Bolivia') in the TV series Fringe. Any other examples you can think of? I'd be curious to know what the earliest case of an actor/actress playing more than one role in a movie or TV show was.

In addition to playing Samantha on Bewitched, Elizabeth Montgomery occasionally played Samantha's cousin Serena. I bet Chrissie Hynde watched the show.

Before Peter Sellers did Dr Strangelove 1963, he did The Mouse That Roared 1959, playing three roles.
