Aaron Sorkin's Wake-Up Call: Suffering a Stroke in November.

Aaron Sorkin, the Oscar-winning screenwriter and director, revealed that he suffered a stroke in November while writing the new Broadway musical Camelot. The 61-year-old, who was a heavy smoker since high school, said the health scare was a "loud wake-up call" and he was concerned he'd never be able to write again. Sorkin was able to quit smoking cold turkey, started eating better and is working out twice a day. Camelot is scheduled to open on Broadway on April 13 with its book rewritten by Sorkin.
