McQueen's egotism was more pronounced than that of the average star. His fear of "carrying" Lee
was probably also a fear that Lee would overshadow him in a breakout performance.

I guess big name stars were and are sent scripts all the time, via their agents in most cases.
I heard about something that Steve McQueen charged and sent a bill for one million Dollars just to read a screenplay at some points of his career, and that Dino de Laurentis actually payed him that amount for an eventual lead in a forthcoming version of Tai-Pan (that eventually came in 1986 starring Aussie Bryan Brown instead and became a mega flop)

Ah, all those great films that almost happened. Well, we can dream, can't we?

Lee then cast James Coburn but it was never made. It was eventually made in 1978 with David Carradine.
