Scorsese, Martin (b. 1942). Film director whose trademark style focuses on character development rather than dramatic plot. An Italian-American schooled at NYU's film school, many of Scorsese's films feature autobiographical themes portraying life on the streets. Notable films include Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, and Casino.
