IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when import requested

Question

Whether from the keyboard:    shift / command / i    or from the pull down menu:   File  / Import to Library
iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes every time, before opening a window to allow a file to be selected for import.
For me this is a brand new fault.  iPhoto has been running on this system for years without a problem. Immediately prior to this fault, I successfully imported photos from two cameras and from my desktop.
I've restarted the Mac that runs 10.7.5, restared iPhoto, but the same thing happens.  I relaunched iPhoto and selected a different library and the same thing happens.
