Director Martin Scorsese Visits Maine With His Daughter

Legendary director and Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese paid another visit to Maine with his daughter, this time going to Bar Harbor.

23-year-old Francesca Scorsese has followed in her father's footsteps in the film industry as an actress and filmmaker. She has had roles in several films directed by her father, including The Departed, Hugo, and The Aviator. She also had a role in HBO's 2020 series We Are Who We Are, playing Britney Orton.

She posted a video on TikTok of her, her "besties", and family (including her dad) hopping on a private plane headed for Maine. They went to Bar Harbor, stopped at Cool as a Moose and Acadia Perk, tooled around the harbor in their big boat, got ice cream, and brought their dog, too.

One quick shot in the video shows a very touching moment with Martin and his wife Helen, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, as he comes up behind her and gives her a big hug. Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with the degenerative disease in 1991, has been a big support to Helen over the years.

This isn't the first time the Scorseses have made the trip to Maine. They also visited Maine in 2020. Clearly, they love Maine as much as those of us who live here do.
