Martin Scorsese

* Cultural Reference Chapters 21-23 *

Martin Marcantonio Luciano Scorsese was born on November 17, 1942 and is considered one of the greatest crime-genre directors of all time, directing Academy Award movies such as Taxi Driver, Good Fellas, The Aviator, and as a long anticipated come-back in 2006: The Departed.

Scorsese’s father, Luciano Charles Scorsese, and mother, Catherine Scorsese, both resided in New York when they gave birth to Martin in 1942. It was the contemporary-realistic cinemas in New York that gave Scorsese the passion go follow his dreams as a director.

Scorsese was a multi- Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Directors Guild of America, award winner and was nominated for Best Director five times, but never won.
