Whether they're hired or not often depends on how they look in a picture. So if she sees a picture which she thinks goes against her image, and might make it hard
for her to get work, she'd have every right to ask for it to be removed."
Unless, as Annie suggested, she had some contract re the actual photos with the photographer, she would have no legal right at all. If I take a photo of you which you don't like, you would have no rights to stop me selling or publishing it. The rights to your own image law does exists in the US I believe and can come into play here (someone who knows US law a bit better may be able to explain), but there is no equivalent law in the UK yet, though the government is thinking about this.

Don't know about this, but it is possible that she did this under libel laws. If they altered her image to make it look like she would do something she would not normally do and could be said to be damaging to her character, then she does have a case under libel laws.
