Catherine Scorsese
Biography
Catherine Scorsese was an American actress who built a screen career largely out of maternal roles, most of them Italian. She was born Catherine Cappa in New York in 1912 and grew up on Elizabeth Street in the Little Italy section of Manhattan. She got her first acting part in the short film It's Not Just You, Murray! (1964), which marked the start of her career. Because she was of Italian descent, she was often cast as an Italian mother. Her best-known part was in Goodfellas (1990), playing Mrs. DeVito opposite Joe Pesci's Tommy. She also published Italianamerican: The Scorsese Family Cookbook, a collection of recipes. Scorsese died in 1997.
