Scorsese's mother, Catherine, appeared in small parts in many of his films. My favorites are in Goodfellas, and here in Casino. There used to be a clip online from the excellent "Late Night with David Letterman" from 1991 or so, with Martin promoting Cape Fear (I think), and Bill Murray backstage. Catherine comes out and does a segment where she shows how to make pizza. It is cute and hilarious and spellbinding for some reason. Murray and Martin join Dave to eat at the end.
Here's another scene from Casino, synced for Burt & Ernie from Sesame Street:
