I believe that your statements are only true for public figures. I’m pretty sure non-public figures retain the right to photos of themselves (unless they aren’t the main subject in the photograph).
Sorry my bad, I was speaking to pictures taken in a public setting, but didn’t clarify. When you get headshots done you are giving the photographer the rights.
Taking photos and the right for commercial use of the photos are two different things. The reason why film crews/photographers generally ask for people to sign releases is because it’s not clear cut. While the US is generally more forgiving, it’s not a guarantee.
