A publicist says 81-year-old Oscar-winning actor Alan Arkin was hospitalized after a minor stroke. He added Arkin was fine and back to reading scripts on Friday. Arkin won supporting actor Academy Awards for 2006's "Little Miss Sunshine" and 2009's "Argo." Publicist Melody Korenbrot said he suffered the "mini-stroke" on Monday and was released from the hospital the next day. She added Arkin was home reading a script for a possible new movie. In addition to his two Academy Awards, the actor was Oscar-nominated for "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming" and "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" in the 1960s.
