Personal life
Talog was born on 31 March 1944[2] in Caerwys, Flintshire and a plaque is currently on the house where she was born. She worked as a teacher before pursuing an acting career and appeared mainly on Welsh-language television, comedy and children's programmes. For the Welsh audience, she played the character of Phyllis Doris, the family's teen daughter in the comedy series Ryan and Ronnie.
She later appeared in several English-language sitcoms and soap operas. She lived with David Jason and accompanied him to Buckingham Palace in 1993 to receive his OBE.[3] She lived with him for eighteen years until her death from breast cancer.
Talog died of breast cancer in 1995. In 2006, on the anniversary of her birthday, a plaque was unveiled by her brother in her memory, placed on her former family home in Caerwys.[5]
