Hey Gromit82...Thank you for your explanation. I knew that IMDB scams us little guys/girls..I could never get a straight answer from them about other things too. So, the dead movie stars have a built-in IMDb legacy while us no body's pay the tab.

Yes, famous people are more likely to receive this treatment than lesser-known people, but as we know, there are unclaimed IMDb name pages for a whole bunch of people at various levels of fame, whereby each of those unclaimed pages have a unique placeholder photograph occupying the primary image slot. So, it is kind of like a matter of luck.

So, how do get "Lucky" Do I buy a few months? or so? I've done that...

Ah, there is no fixed way to "get lucky", as it were. A month or two ago, there was somebody complaining about why there is no profile picture on IMDb for new Chancellor of Germany, treating it like some kind of conspiracy (due to the fact that the IMDb name page for the President of Russia isn't photoless), but really the particular German official's tenure thus far hasn't been nearly as long as his predecessor or other more recognizable world leaders. As near as I can tell, and I probably shouldn't really point this out but I will anyway, being the subject of an IMDb Poll is another way to increase the chances of being alleviated the supposed disappointment of having to pay for IMDbPro in order to claim an IMDb name page for the purpose of uploading and managing the content of the page's featured images.
