  • Martin Scorsese's mother made her favorite sauce. Excerpts from the film "Italianamerican" by Martin Scorsese (1974). You can see the entire film here: • Video
    Catherine Scorsese was also an American actress, often typecast as the "typical Italian mother" in films. Her best known role was that of Mrs. DeVito in "Goodfellas" (1990). Scorsese was born under the name "Catherine Cappa" in 1912. She was a native of Little Italy, Manhattan, New York City, with both of her parents being Sicilian Americans. Her father Martin Cappa worked as a stage coordinator in theatre, while her mother Domenica owned her own shop. The Cappas were a large family. Catherine had three brothers and five sisters. The family lived in a three-room apartment in Little Italy, sharing spaces with other relatives and boarders. By the 1930s, Catherine was working as a machinist in the Garment District. In 1933, she married the actor Luciano Charles "Charlie" Scorsese (1913-1993), who was also working in the garment industry at the time. The bride was 21-years-old, while the groom was 20-years-old. The couple had three children, including film director Martin Scorsese. Scorsese made her film debut in her son's short film "It's Not Just You, Murray!" (1964). She also played maternal roles in "Who's That Knocking at My Door" (1967), "The King of Comedy" (1983), "Easy Money" (1983), "Goodfellas" (1990), and "Casino" (1995). She had bit parts in several other films. She appeared as herself in the documentary "Italianamerican" (1974), about the experiences of Italian American immigrants. Scorsese made her last film appearance in "Casino", at the age of 83. She was working at the time on her cookbook "Italianamerican: The Scorsese Family Cookbook". It was completed and published in 1996, months before her death. It was her only published work. Late in life, Scorsese suffered from Alzheimer's disease, a chronic neurodegenerative disease. The disease eventually caused her death in January 1997. She was 84 at the time of death (Source: IMDb).

She wanted to be in control of where you sat, how you ate, what you said, what time papa took a bath. Mama Mia !!!!!! She used to yell Mangiare Mangiare Mangiare !!!!!!!! which means EAT EAT EAT !!!!!! Bless her. She was like that and that was it. You know what I mean. Fugetaboutit. This video really took me back to those uncomfortable days in Lower Manhattan. I grew up six blocks from this apartment. This video was in the north part of Little Italy. I was baptized in Little Italy in the Old Saint Patricks Cathedral on Mulberry. Scorsese filmed in there.

      They give their lives for you, cleaning, cooking, all day long, and they're also always teaching life lessons as they discipline you: respect for your elders, respect for yourself, loyalty to your family. Most of them are so strong. Scorsese's mother reminds me of my husband's grandmother. She didn't take any nonsense from anybody. Once, the priest at the parish yelled at her for sometimes letting her boys sleep late on Saturdays and skip catechism class. When he came down the street to do the blessing of the houses and went on to the porch, she came out with her broom and swept him off! :) After that, she went to the "Irish" church instead of the "Italian" church. God rest her soul.

      You have to clean as you go or at the end the kitchen is a disaster. My father liked to cook and would cook every Sunday morning while my mother took us to church. She would throw her hands up in horror when she saw the kitchen. I can hear her now. "You used every pot and pan we own!" He cooked Saturday lunch too. He would get two or three kinds of cold cuts, cheeses, olives, tomatoes if they were in season, fresh bread and eggs. He'd' fry up the eggs for everybody in pancetta fat, and everything else was arranged in the center of the table. God, what sweet memories. What I'd give to go back, even for one day.

She's just direct, and honest, and funny, and kind, like a lot of Italian mothers, and Jewish ones as well. Show some respect for an elderly woman who gave her whole life for her family, and produced one of the greatest film directors in the world. Scorsese loved her so much, he put her in a lot of his movies. That's a son who knew his mother's worth.

    Very interesting video but i'm unsure about the recipe that scrolls at the end. Not the sauce but the meatballs New York Times has them with ground beef, veal + pork. There's also parsley and cayenne pepper.
