I believe you should. My understanding from the Welsh grammar book I have is that it is a matter of emphasis. "Dw i actores" = "I AM an actress" while "Actores dw i" = "i am AN ACTRESS". I have protested this and hopefully DL will start accepting either.

Since "actress" is not a verb, why would you need "yn" before it? My understanding is that "yn" introduces a verb.
"Yn" is used in many different ways in welsh - one of which is before a verb that's in progress. It is also used as a preposition "in" (eg. "in the room"="yn yr ystafell". Finally it is used before predicative adjectives (as opposed to attributive adjectives). Eg. the difference between "She is happy" and "The happy woman": "mae hi'n hapus" and "y ddynes hapus". "Yn" is used in the former but not the latter.
Not a grammar expert but speak welsh at home - so I may need someone to back me up on the technicalities here :)
