See the new Betty White stamp unveiled by the US Postal Service

Americans will soon be able to send their mail and honor an iconic TV star at the same time.
The U.S. Postal Service announced Friday it will release a stamp in 2025 commemorating beloved actress Betty White. The stamp shows the late “Golden Girls” star grinning on a violet background, a digital illustration created by Dale Stephanos based on a 2010 photo by Kwaku Alston.
The U.S. Postal Service said the stamp, which will be sold on a pane of 20, exudes White’s “spritely sense of fun” and features bubbly spots on the background “that befit her sparkling personality.” A first day of issue for the stamp was not announced.
White’s stamp was one of many unveiled Friday for 2025. Late musician Allen Toussaint, whom the Postal Service remembered as a “virtuoso pianist, singer, songwriter, composer, arranger and producer responsible for scores of hits across multiple genres,” will get his own stamp next year as part of the Black Heritage series.
USPS stamp services director Lisa Bobb-Semple said these new stamps demonstrate “our commitment to providing a diverse range of subjects and designs for both philatelists and stamp enthusiasts.”

Other stars who have been honored with their own commemorative postage stamps over the years include TV giants such as Fred Rogers, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball and Rod Serling.
The U.S. Postal Service previously announced a commemorative stamp for former first lady Betty Ford. The design was revealed during a White House event with first lady Jill Biden in March, and the USPS described Ford as the “most politically outspoken first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt.”
Betty White remembered:Her greatest career moments
White received a whopping 21 Primetime Emmy nominations and won five during her lengthy career, which included memorable roles on “The Mary Tyler Moore,” “The Golden Girls,” “Hot in Cleveland,” and many more shows.
She died on New Year’s Eve 2021 at age 99. A documentary film, “Betty White: A Celebration,” was released weeks later to mark what would have been her 100th birthday.
