Is Catherine Scorsese related to Martin Scorsese?

Catherine Scorsese’s son is Martin Scorsese. Catherine Scorsese’s current partner Catherine Scorsese’s husband was Charles Scorsese.

She was born on April 16, 1912. She was married to Charles Scorsese. Her father, Martin Cappa, was a stage coordinator and her mother, Domenica, was a shop owner. She was the twin of her brother Charles. She also had brothers Salvatore and Andrew and five sisters including Mary and Sarah.

Martin Scorsese was born on November 17, 1942, in the Flushing area of New York City’s Queens borough. His family moved to Little Italy in Manhattan before he started school. Both of Scorsese’s parents, Charles Scorsese and Catherine Scorsese (born Cappa), worked in New York’s Garment District. Charles was a clothes presser and an actor while Catherine was a seamstress and an actress.

He attended the all-boys Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, graduating in 1960. He had initially desired to become a priest, attending a preparatory seminary but failed after the first year. This gave way to the cinema and consequently, Scorsese enrolled in NYU’s Washington Square College (now known as the College of Arts and Science), where he earned a B.A. in English in 1964.
