This actually happened a few months ago. Movita was Brando's second wife and mother of Miko.
She played the love interest in Clark Gable's Mutiny on the Bounty, which ironically was famously remade with Brando.

Movita Castaneda, a movie actress who married Marlon Brando in 1960 and had two children with him, has died in a Los Angeles rehabilitation center. She was believed to be 98.
Her death Thursday came after hospitalization for a neck injury, said Barbara Sternig, a family friend.
One of Castaneda's first films, "Mutiny on the Bounty", a 1935 classic with Clark Gable and Charles Laughton, came back to play a powerful role in her life decades later.

FOR THE RECORD:
Movita Castaneda obituary: In the Feb. 17 California section, the obituary of actress Movita Castaneda, Marlon Brando's second wife, misspelled the last name of Brando's first wife. Her name is Anna Kashfi, not Khashi.
------------
Castaneda, who was known as Movita, had a small role as a beautiful Tahitian maiden who married one of the mutineers.
The film was remade in 1962, with Brando, Movita's husband, playing the mutiny's leader, Fletcher Christian. Nineteen-year-old Tarita Teri'ipaia played his Tahitian lover — and the two also became lovers off-screen.
After Movita and Brando split, Teri'ipaia became Brando's third wife. They were divorced in 1972.
