(TheProudRepublic.com) – Beloved icon and American treasure Betty White received the amazing honor of being immortalized on the United States Postal Service (USPS) Forever stamp in 2025.
This tribute to White’s seven-decade television legacy and animal advocacy comes as a refreshing celebration of wholesome entertainment in an era of increasingly divisive media.
The USPS has announced that the legendary actress, who passed away in December 2021, just 17 days before her 100th birthday, will be featured on a Forever stamp as part of their 2025 collection.
The stamp will showcase a smiling White, inspired by a 2010 photograph by Kwaku Alston and illustrated by artist Dale Stephanos.
“I’d love to send a letter back to my 18-year-old self with this stamp on it and tell him that everything is going to be OK,” Stephanos posted on Facebook.
White’s enduring popularity transcended generations, with the actress gaining new fans well into her 90s.
Known for her roles in beloved shows like “The Golden Girls,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” and “Boston Legal,” White represented a bygone era of entertainment that prioritized wit, charm, and family-friendly humor.
The USPS described the late actress as “an icon of American television” who “shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades.”
White’s career, which began in the early 1950s, was characterized by her ability to balance a wholesome image with occasionally bawdy humor.
While the exact release date for the stamp has not been announced, its inclusion in the 2025 collection alongside other themes like the Lunar New Year and Black Heritage series shows the USPS’s commitment to celebrating diverse aspects of American culture.
The Betty White stamp commemorates a beloved actress. It symbolizes the kind of entertainment and public figures Americans should aspire to celebrate—those who bring joy, unite generations and represent the best of American culture.
