First this is a picture of the uploader. Hubbard is La-Paz (0.99 probability). No evidence that the image is under an acceptable free licence. Ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright).

Comment The uploader has altered the file description to read "20th Century Fox Hidden Figure: Author Emunah La-Paz Photo Taken by Leah Lash". This means it is now a self declared copyright violation. They have been advised to use COM:OTRS to regularise this, and informed with care that Commons has very strict licencing rules (on their en WP talk page).
