Betty White Set to Get USPS Postage Stamp in 2025

Betty White is receiving a posthumous honor from the United States Postal Service.

The mail service announced on Friday, November 15, that the iconic actress, who died in 2021 at 99 years old, will be featured on one of the USPS’s 2025 stamps.

“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 USPS shared 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.”

The Golden Girls star is one of several stamps to be circulated by the USPS in 2025, which also includes a “Love” stamp celebrating artist Keith Haring, and a Black Heritage stamp memorializing musician Allen Toussaint.

“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 Lisa Bobb-Semple, stamp services director for USPS in a statement.

“This year, we are continuing several of our popular series and commemorative anniversaries, while introducing some exciting new stamps,” Bobb-Semple continued. “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.”

White died on December 31, 2021, just three weeks shy of her 100th birthday. Her cause of death was revealed on January 11, 2022, which was a stroke she suffered six days prior at her home in Los Angeles.

“Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever,” her agent and close friend, Jeff Witjas, told People in a statement at the time. “I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again.”

White is perhaps best known for her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Golden Girls and Hot in Cleveland, but she also appeared in several popular films such as The Proposal, You Again and Lake Placid.

“[I’m] amazed,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published on December 29, 2021. “No, seriously, I’m the luckiest broad on two feet to be as healthy as I am and to feel as good as I do!”
