Michael Douglas’ Oscar-Winning Role Was Offered to Two Others Before Him

Douglas recently shared a surprising piece of Wall Street history at the TCM Classic Film Festival in New York. He told Alicia Malone that, despite his long career, he hadn’t known about it until recently (according to People magazine).
![The energy spectrum of an isolated commensurate Aubry-Andérson chain undergoes distinct transformations dependent on modulation phase, exhibiting merged zero-energy edge states and a central bulk band at [latex]\phi_{\lambda} = 0[/latex], while a complete band narrowing occurs at [latex]E = 0[/latex] eV for [latex]\phi_{\lambda} = \pi/2[/latex]-shifts coinciding with critical modulation strengths of [latex]\delta_{t} = W_{c1} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/latex] and [latex]\delta_{t} = W_{c2} = 2[/latex], which govern the opening and closing of the central bulk gap, and ultimately demonstrate the system's sensitivity to subtle shifts in its foundational parameters.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.05338v1/eg120pi2.png)
