This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit. The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion. It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate: the person(s), product, event, or subject in question where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos. Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license. Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

This image qualifies under the "fair use" exception to the copyright laws because:

1. This image is a significant photo of a famous dead individual.
2. This image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of an inferior quality).
3. This image is being used to illustrate the article or text on the person in question and is used for informational or educational purposes only.
4. It was publicly released to promote the actress Claudette Colbert.
5. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article.
6. It is believed that this image will not devalue the ability of the copyright holder to profit from the original work.
7. No alternate, free image exists that can be used to illustrate the subject matter.
