But when I met Martin, I just fell totally in love.

The two married in 1976; Cameron was Scorsese’s second wife.

Cameron struggled with alcoholism throughout the early years of the marriage before getting sober in 1978.

It was a rough road from there, but one that paid off.

“I lost a world but I gained a world.

Domenica directs films in New York City, just like her father.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, I guess,” Cameron told Bookpage.

And after a long road, she deserves the peace she has found.
