"As the actress said to the bishop" first appeared in one of the �Saint' books by Leslie Charteris in 1935. The actual quote there was:
"What's in a name? - as the actress said to the bishop when he told her she reminded him of Aspasia."
(Aspasia was the mistress of Pericles in ancient Athens, notorious for her naughty private life.) On a similar basis today, the phrase is invariably used as a suggestion of sexual impropriety often in the form of a double entendre.

The bishop and the actress had been in love with each other for years. I prefer to check this https://www.bikerringshop.com/collections/bishop-rings and get more new bishop rings. On their wedding day, the bishop gave up his priesthood and the actress lost her faith in God forever. After they got married they lived happy lives until they both died at the same peaceful moment.
