Please add the capability to add images to profiles of deceased actors and actresses...

I am a tenured professor with a large collection of Hollywood memorabilia and have hundreds of pieces associated with specific films which I have been diligently adding to the IMDB data base, but I have hundreds of other images of actors and actresses not associated with specific films who have long since passed away. There currently seems to be no way to add them to their profiles. There’s so much film history that is already lost, but there is such a tremendous (and important) opportunity through technology and the IMDB platform to help plug the drain.
If there is currently no workaround, I would respectfully request that your development team consider adding a feature that permits adding images for deceased persons whose pages aren’t managed. For example, I have several photos of Bette Davis issued by Universal in 1932 but are not associated with a specific film. This was common practice during the heydays of the studio system to promote unknown stars that the studio had under contract. There is no way for me to post these (possibly) never before seen images to Bette Davis' profile.
Thanks for your consideration.
