USPS announces Betty White stamp will be released in 2025
November 16, 2024 / 9:47 AM EST / CBS News

Legendary TV icon Betty White will be honored in 2025 with a stamp, the U.S. Postal Service announced on Friday.

"The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals," the USPS said.

The image of White, who died in 2021, was created based on a 2010 photograph, the USPS said. The USPS said the list of new stamps released on Friday is a partial one, with additional stamps to be announced in the coming weeks and months.

"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.

The Post Office also makes framed prints (about 12X12) of some of their stamps. We got the one of the Webb Telescope. Very nicely done. Betty Whites will be very nice indeed.
