Unless Olivier directed one movie called "Hamlet" and acted in another movie, the same year, also called "Hamlet"
Clooney acted in and directed two different films. Olivier acted in and directed the same film. The story mentions the two different films.
He had to die his hair black because he's playing Jesse James, who was a famous non-blond.
While George Clooney may be the first actor nominated for screenwriting, acting, and directing (and I haven't checked that), a quick check of imdb confirmed that Laurence Olivier was nominated for both acting and directing for Hamlet in 1948. He won for Best Director.
