The film received positive reviews with 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. Gray's film Megan Leavey (2017) tells the true story of a young woman (played by Kate Mara) who joins the Marines to escape her small New York town, and forms a bond with a combat dog named Rex. Betty Anne, because she just impulsively and instinctively loves the people in her life, she has this network of people that adore her.

Gray went on to write Conviction (2010), which starred Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The 1960s was an era similar to today when teenagers had a stake in what was happening politically.
In a 2018 interview with Taylor Steinbeck, Gray reflected on the teenage zeitgeist the story represents: Ī Walk on the Moon was later adapted into a play and produced at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. This began a longtime collaboration between Gray as writer and Goldwyn as director. They tried to recruit David Seltzer as director but failed and they then agreed to let Goldwyn direct. The script was not initially purchased until it was seen by actor Tony Goldwyn who was given the script by his agency, Creative Artists Agency. In 1992, she wrote The Blouse Man (retitled A Walk on the Moon) based on her experiences vacationing in the Catskills for which she won the Samuel Goldwyn Writing Award. During Gray's internship at Star Trek, she re-wrote an episode ( Violations) which was used.
