Three years after Betty White’s death, the iconic actress will be remembered in a special way.
The United States Postal Service revealed on Friday that one of its 2025 stamps will feature the American sweetheart.
“An icon of American television, Betty White (1922–2021) shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades — including roles on The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” the mail service said in a statement. “The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals.”
White died on Dec. 31, 2021, nearly three weeks short of her 100th birthday. On Jan. 11, 2022, it was revealed her cause of death was a stroke she had six days before at her home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles.
Perhaps most well-known for her roles in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls and Hot in Cleveland, she gained a new generation of fans with roles in films like The Proposal, You Again, Bringing Down the House and Lake Placid, among others.
The USPS announced other 2025 stamps as well, including a snake for the Lunar New Year’s Year of the Snake, a 1794 compass rose, Allen Toussaint for Black Heritage, the Appalachian Trail, vibrant leaves, dahlias, baby wild animals, winter landscapes and more.
“This early glimpse into our 2025 stamp program demonstrates our commitment to providing a diverse range of subjects and designs for both philatelists and stamp enthusiasts,” said USPS Stamp Services director Lisa Bobb-Semple in a statement. “This year, we are continuing several of our popular series and commemorative anniversaries, while introducing some exciting new stamps. Additionally, several of our mail-use stamps, which are printed based on demand, will be updated this year. Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming months.”
