The script for Lies and Lullabies initially cast Dey as the sister of a closetcocaine addict who dies during child birth. Deys character was then charged with raising the baby, ignorant to the developmental delays that would follow. However, after visiting a treatment facility and meeting mothers who were in the process of seeking treatment to regain custody of their children, Dey who also acted as the producer of the film, asked that the script be rewritten. In the early stages we all had very little compassion for these women. But upon meeting them we learned the reality is that these women can be helped and if given a chance for treatment and a choice between drugs and their children, many choose their children.The movie was awarded the Scott Newman Award founded by Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward in memory of their son that is presented annually to the production that best illustrates the degradation of and triumph over drug addiction. ........
