We know a bit more about Laraine Marie Brennan's daughter with Martin Scorsese than we do about Brennan herself. Cathy Scorsese's appearance in "Casino" seemed to kickstart her career in the production side of the film industry. Since 1995, Cathy has worked in the art department as a prop master, property assistant, and set dresser for the likes of "The Sopranos" and "Boardwalk Empire," as well as some of her father's films like "The Aviator," "Shutter Island." and "The Departed" (via IMDb).

Outside of her career as an actress and prop master, Cathy hit the headlines in 2019 after her apartment flooded with sewage. On April 3, Cathy's half-sister Tanya Barach organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise $30,000 to help fix the damage and house after she was having issues with her insurance company (via Heavy), as well as boarding the animals she cares for.

However, many were quick to criticize the fundraiser due to the fortune her father has amassed. Cathy responded to the comments, highlighting that she's "not a trust fund baby" and that she hasn't been spoiled by her parents. "I worked from the time I was very young," she said (via Page Six). "There's no free ride with me."

The campaign has since been canceled after raising just over $6,000. "This was something nice my sisters tried to do," Cathy continued. "I'm my own person, and unless it's something I feel like I can't manage, I would prefer not to go to my parents."
