The United States Postal Service (USPS) is poised to release a commemorative stamp featuring the late Betty White, a beloved actress and cultural icon, as a way to bridge divides across the nation following a contentious election month. This Forever stamp, set to be issued in 2025, honors White’s significant impact on television and her role in American pop culture.

Betty White, known for her memorable performances in shows such as “The Golden Girls,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” and “Boston Legal,” passed away just days before her 100th birthday in late December 2021. Although USPS has not disclosed the exact date the stamp will be available, it has released an announcement detailing her enduring legacy.

In their statement, USPS remarked, “An icon of American television, Betty White (1922–2021) shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades.” The stamp showcases an image of a smiling White, derived from a photograph taken by celebrity photographer Kwaku Alston in 2010. Throughout her career, she captivated audiences of all ages and was well known for her ardent advocacy for animal rights.

The illustration for the stamp was crafted by Boston-based artist Dale Stephanos, who expressed his personal connection to the project by sharing on Facebook, “I’d love to send a letter back to my 18-year-old self with this stamp on it and tell him that everything is going to be OK.”

In an unexpected display of unity, fans from different political backgrounds, including supporters of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, have expressed their excitement about the stamp on social media. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared a fond childhood memory of White, stating, “Betty White was my hero, all of my life! I actually had a doll when I was a little girl I named Betty White.” Similarly, a pro-Harris account remarked, “Something to make this awful week a little better: We’re getting a Betty White stamp.”

Betty White was celebrated not just for her wholesome persona but also for her sharp comedic timing, which allowed her to connect with audiences throughout her expansive career that began in the early 1950s and only grew stronger with age. In remembrance of her, Seth Meyers tweeted, “The only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party, a party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.”
