Comparable work and mitigating damages

Classic example of comparable work:

An actor is given a leading role. Later, the role is taken away from the actor and she is given a leading role in a different movie. The pay is identical for both movie roles. She sues, saying the two acting jobs are not comparable work. The court agrees.
