Made as a television film, Street of Dreams was originally aired on October 7, 1988, on CBS and was subsequently released on DVD on January 10, 2005. The role of a drug addict whoper Fairchilds remarkslooks like hell marked a departure for Morgan Fairchild, whose career had, up to that point, been defined by roles of glamour and sex appeal.

Morgan Fairchild, known for her glamorous roles and often herself referred to as glamorous and a sex symbol, took on the role of cocaine addict Laura because she liked the chance to play somebody who looks like hell. Fairchild has stated in interviews that the role was a real challenge and that, even though she found it humiliating and scary to have circles drawn under her eyes for more realistic effect, she still considered it to be a lot of fun to be working on something a little off the beaten track. Fairchild stated that she would love to get more acting jobs that are antithetical to her image, such as a bag lady or a scrub woman but fears that filmmakers will not think to consider her for such a role.
