The United States Postal Service has announced a new stamp featuring the beloved actor Betty White, known for her roles in iconic TV shows like “The Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” This stamp, set to be released in 2025, will honor White’s legacy and contribution to American television.
Betty White, who passed away in late December 2021 just before her 100th birthday, was a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. The stamp will feature a smiling White based on a 2010 photograph by celebrity photographer Kwaku Alston. The Postal Service described White as an “icon of American television” who shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades.
The digital illustration for the stamp was created by Boston-based artist Dale Stephanos, who expressed his admiration for White’s impact on television. Fans of all ages, regardless of their political beliefs, have expressed excitement over the upcoming release of the Betty White stamp.
White’s career spanned over seven decades, during which she gained a new generation of fans with her humor and compassion. She was not only known for her comedic roles but also for her advocacy for animals. White’s ability to blend a wholesome image with a sharp wit and bawdy humor endeared her to audiences of all ages.
Celebrities and fans alike have paid tribute to White’s legacy, with late-night host Seth Meyers recalling her unforgettable appearance as a host on “Saturday Night Live.” White’s impact on the entertainment industry and her ability to bring joy to audiences will be immortalized in the form of a postage stamp, ensuring that her memory lives on for years to come.
