Hi, Prudence Wright Holmes. There is only one other image available to substitute the existing placeholder image. Maybe that one can could be used. I'm not sure what will happen if the screen shot of the back of the character you played is removed from the site entirely, assuming it is even eligible for removal.

It seems like someone in the IMDb team keeps trying to make a great part of potential clients to be more happy with the Google search results 8/

There is one more candidate influenced by the "back" policy:

this image from the same series stands for Stephanie Blackmore, and there is a normal picture of her in the base:

Wanna more backs?
Look at Amy Stryker (I) page. The main image is from the same series:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073972/mediaviewer/rm1697694464

Why not this one:

???

Hi Prudence -

Please know that if you have not yet claimed your page and set a primary image for yourself, our system will automatically select a primary image for you from the existing images in your photo gallery. 

I understand that the existing primary selection is not ideal, though it was likely selected because you are the only individual featured in the image, verses the group image from "Sister Act".

As this selection is automatic we cannot remove the existing primary image, if you want to provide more representative images of yourself, I would encourage you to consider an IMDbPro membership (paid membership is required), for further details on IMDbPro and managing images on your page, please review the following Help page: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/how-do-i-add-photos-to-my-imdb-page/G5KNUQH...#

Hello,

If you submit a name merge, in addition to combining both name pages, the primary photo on one page should replace the other photo. 

Instructions on how to submit a name merge are in the link below. 

IMDb Help Center
How can I combine two IMDb filmography pages?


You mentioned you prefer the Prudence Wright Holmes name page on the IMDb. In your case, start the submission from the Prudence Holmes name page.  

When you get to the Name Correction or Merge form, type the name this way.

Wright Holmes, Prudence

In the Explanation box, write a brief statement on why the name page is being merged. 

(Example: Same person on both pages.)

You can also add the URL of this discussion page. 

Acknowledge any yellow warning messages by clicking the checkbox to the left of the following statement.

Warning understood, go ahead anyway.

Give at least 2-3 days for processing. 

I hope this helps. Please write back if you need assistance with the submission.
