'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' 'Third Wife' actress details revealed

Apparently, Belanger is a veteran of the theater as well as a poet, and she also works as a theater director.

In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the "Third Wife" was part of the Quileute Legends backstory told by Billy Black (portrayed by Gil Birmingham in the film).

"This is definitely a break out role for" Mariel Belanger, talent agent Julie Donnelly explained.

While the part was small in the film, it was quite significant to the storyline, since Bella (portrayed by Kristen Stewart) later replicates the heroic actions of the "Third Wife" when she and Edward (Robert Pattinson, of course) are attacked by Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Riley (Xavier Samuel).

Her counterpart in the film, "Taha Aki" was portrayed by Byron Chief-Moon, and Justin Rain also portrayed a Quileute warrior in the film.

Just another interesting tidbit on some of the film's finer details . . .
