Hi all,
Here's what an Apple support person told me to do (she was very quick to respond and extremely polite, so kudos to her and Apple on that. I haven't tried to reinstall iPhoto yet, so not sure if it's a real fix.
Good luck!

My name is Karen and I understand your concern regarding your iPhoto update. Though helping with technical issue is beyond my area of expertise as an iTunes Store advisor, I assure you that I'll address your concern to the best of my ability.
To fix the issue, please try to uninstall the software and re-install for free.
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app. If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
