Beloved Betty White, who died in December 2021 just 18 days shy of her 100th birthday, will be honored with a stamp in 2025 by the U.S. Postal Service. The image used in the stamp was created based on a 2010 photograph.

“The Golden Girls and Mary Tyler Moore Show actor shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades," read the news release from the USPS read. “The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals.”

"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.

As the Guinness Book of World Records holder for the Longest TV Career for a Female Entertainer, Betty White was known for her Emmy-winning roles as man-hungry Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and ditsy optimist Rose Nyland on The Golden Girls. In 2010, at the age of 88, she added another hit sitcom to her resume as Elka Ostrovsky on TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland.

Hot in Cleveland ran for six seasons, through 2015. But it was Betty’s first sitcom, Life With Elizabeth from 1953 to 1955, that initially put her in the record books as the first woman to produce a sitcom. She also received her first Emmy Award for her work on that series.

In 1954, Betty hosted and produced her own daily talk/variety show, The Betty White Show, on NBC. Following the end of Life with Elizabeth, she appeared as Vicki Angel on the ABC sitcom Date With the Angels from 1957 to 1958.

White, who was an eight-time Emmy Award winner, had a career resurgence in 2010 after hosting Saturday Night Live on NBC after fans rallied on Facebook to get her to host.

Betty White...thank you for being a friend. Your heart was true, you were a pal and a confidant.
