Timeline

1965

Stephen Gaghan (born May 6, 1965) is an American screenwriter and director.

He is noted for writing the screenplay for Steven Soderbergh's film Traffic, based on a Channel 4 series, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as Syriana which he wrote and directed.

He also wrote and directed the thriller Abandon and the family film Dolittle, and directed the drama Gold.

1980

Gaghan was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of the former Elizabeth Jane Whorton and her first husband, Stephen Gaghan (d. 1980), and a stepson of Tom Haag.

He is a grandson of Jerry Gaghan, a newspaper columnist and drama critic for Variety and the Philadelphia Daily News.

1986

He was a student on the Fall 1986 Voyage of the "Semester at Sea" Study Abroad Program where he attended classes on board the SS Universe and sailed around the world.

1988

He eventually graduated from Babson College in 1988 with a degree in screenwriting.

He also started a catalog company, Fallen Empire Inc., which he hoped would support his writing career.

1997

Gaghan has stated that he began dealing with his addictions in 1997.

"Over one long, five-day weekend, I had three separate heroin dealers get arrested," he said.

"My dealer, my backup dealer and my backup-backup dealer. I was left alone, and I just hit that place, that total incomprehensible demoralization. That was the end of it; up five days straight, locked in the bathroom, convinced there was nowhere else to go, I had to kill myself, I'm going to kill myself. I just couldn't take another minute of it."

He attended the University of Kentucky and was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.

In his television writing career, he won an Emmy Award for co-writing a NYPD Blue episode entitled Where's Swaldo, in 1997.

In addition to NYPD Blue, he has also written for The Practice and New York Undercover.

He was slated to direct a film adaptation of Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.

He has also been hired by Warner Bros. to write the screenplay of the Dead Spy Running franchise written by author Jon Stock.

He is also set to direct crime thriller Candy Store.

1999

Gaghan has a son, Gardner (b. 1999), and a daughter, Elizabeth, who goes by the nickname of Betsy (b. 2001), from a previous relationship with actress Michael McCraine, whom he met in 1997 while at a recovery meeting.

2000

Gaghan wrote the screenplay for Traffic, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2000.

Other writing credits include Rules of Engagement (2000), Havoc (2005), and The Alamo (2004), as well as a handful of episodes of various television series.

Gaghan turned down the chance to adapt Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code.

2001

Gaghan wrote in a 2001 article in Newsweek, "I also wanted to be a writer, like my grandfather, who carried a card in his wallet that read, "If you find me, call my son [my father] at this number..."

In his final days of high school before graduation, Gaghan was expelled for driving a go-cart through the halls of the school.

During the release of Traffic, a critic commented on one of the teen characters in the movie who is a drug addict and a straight-A student, calling it unrealistic, which Gaghan defended by stating that he had straight A's while he was addicted to drugs and alcohol.

As Gaghan wrote in an article published in Newsweek in February 2001, "I wasn't much different from my peers, except where they could stop drinking after three or six or 10 drinks, I couldn't stop and wouldn't stop until I had progressed through marijuana, cocaine, heroin and, finally, crack and freebase--which seem for so many people to be the last stop on the elevator."

2005

In addition to Traffic, Gaghan also directed and wrote the screenplays for Syriana (2005) and Abandon (2002); the former receiving comparable critical acclaim to Traffic, while the latter received negative reviews.

2007

On May 19, 2007, Gaghan married Marion "Minnie" Mortimer.

2009

Together they have a daughter born in 2009 and a son born in 2014.
