Her talk show career includes a large number of appearances which she appreciated for the publicity. One of her more notable appearances on a variety show was on "The Ed Sullivan Show" (Season 10, Episode 35; May 26, 1957) right after her success with "Rock Hunter", where she played violin with a six-person backup band. After the show she exclaimed, "Now I am really national. Momma and Dallas see the Ed Sullivan show!" By 1958, she earned $20,000 per episode for television performances ($ in dollars). In 1964, Mansfield turned down the role of Ginger Grant on the up-and-coming television sitcom "Gilligan's Island". Although her acting roles were becoming marginalized, Mansfield rejected the part as it epitomized the stereotype she wished to rid herself of. The part eventually went to Tina Louise. A widespread rumor that Mansfield had a breast-flashing dress mishap at the 1957 Academy Awards was found baseless by Academy researchers. Ten days before her death, she read "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time", a poem by Robert Herrick about early death on "The Joey Bishop Show"—her last television appearance. As late as the mid-1980s, Mansfield remained one of the biggest television draws. In 1980, "The Jayne Mansfield Story" aired on CBS starring Loni Anderson in the title role and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mickey Hargitay. It was nominated for three Emmy Awards. A+E Networks TV series Biography featured her in an episode titled "Jayne Mansfield: Blonde Ambition". The TV series won an Emmy Award in the outstanding non-fiction TV series category in 2001. A&E again featured her life in another TV serial, "Dangerous Curves", in 1999. In 1988, her story and archival footage was a part of the TV documentary "Hollywood Sex Symbols". Mansfield had classical training in piano and violin. She sang in film soundtracks, on stage for her theatrical and nightclub performances, and had singles and albums released. After her death, Mansfield became an inspiration for punk-rock musicians. Mansfield sang in English and German for a number of her films, including "The Girl Can't Help It" ("Ev'rytime" and "Rock Around the Rock Pile"), "Illegal" ("Too Marvelous for Words"), "The Las Vegas Hillbillys" ("That Makes It"), "Too Hot to Handle" ("Too Hot To Handle", "You Were Made For Me", "Monsoon" and "Midnight"), "Homesick for St. Pauli" ("Wo Ist Der Man" and "Snicksnack Snuckelchen"), "The Challenge" ("The Challenge of Love"), "The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw" ("Strolling Down The Lane With Billy" and "If The San Francisco Hills Could Only Talk"), and "Promises!
