Betty White to be Honored with New Postage Stamp

On November 15, the U.S. Postal Service announced that a stamp honoring Betty White (1922-2021) will be included among the stamps scheduled for release in 2025.

Emmy Award-winning actress White is best known for her roles in the classic sitcoms "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Golden Girls."

White won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for the first season of "The Golden Girls" and was nominated every year of the show's run.

She also guest-starred on a number of television programs including "Ally McBeal," "The Ellen Show" and "That 70s Show," and won an Emmy in 1996 for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, on an episode of "The John Laroquette Show."

White had a recurring role in ABC's "Boston Legal" from 2005 to 2008 as the calculating, blackmailing gossip-monger Catherine Piper, a role she originally played on "The Practice" in 2004.

She also appeared in the 2009 motion picture "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.

In 2010, she was honored with the Screen Actors Guild Achievement Award; starred on TV Land's first original sitcom, "Hot in Cleveland." with Valerie Bertinelli; and hosted "Saturday Night Live" after a campaign received support from 500,000 Facebook users.

White, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her nineties, was also respected as a compassionate advocate for animals.
