Myfanwy Talog (Welsh pronunciation: [məˈvanuɨ ˈtalɔɡ]; born Myfanwy Talog Williams; 31 March 1944 – 11 March 1995) was a Welsh actress and the long-term partner of English actor David Jason.
She was born in Caerwys, Flintshire in 1944, where a plaque can now be seen on the house where she was born. She worked as a teacher before taking up an acting career, and appeared mainly on Welsh language television, in comedy and children's programmes. For audiences in Wales, she played the character of Phyllis Doris, the teenaged daughter of the family in the series Ryan and Ronnie.
She later appeared in several English-language sitcoms and soap operas. She lived with David Jason for eighteen years until her death from breast cancer, and accompanied him to Buckingham Palace in 1993 to receive his OBE.
On television, Talog narrated Wil Cwac Cwac or Will Quack Quack and voiced The Two Girls in the SuperTed episode, SuperTed and the Pothole Rescue for S4C and Siriol Productions. She did voice work on Alias the Jester and The BFG where she voiced Mrs. Clonkers (with David Jason voicing the BFG) for Cosgrove Hall.
