Post office will release a Betty White stamp

The United States Postal Service is releasing a Betty White stamp.

The beloved actor known for roles in “The Golden Girls,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and others will be on a 2025 Forever stamp, the USPS announced Friday.

White died in 2021, less than three weeks before her 100th birthday.

“An icon of American television, Betty White (1922–2021) shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades,” the Postal Service said in announcing the stamp, which depicts a smiling White based on a 2010 photograph by celebrity photographer Kwaku Alston. “The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals.”

White combined a wholesome image with a flare for bawdy jokes. Her television career began in the early 1950s and exploded as she aged.

“The only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party,” Seth Meyers posted on Twitter after her death. “A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.”

The Postal Service hasn’t announced a release date for the stamp.
