The wait is over! The United States Postal Service (USPS) has officially released the much-anticipated Betty White Forever Stamp, honouring one of America’s most beloved entertainment and animal welfare icons.
After months of excitement and teasers, the new stamp was unveiled in Los Angeles—and not just anywhere, but at the LA Zoo, a place close to Betty White’s heart. She served as a board member there and spent years supporting animals and conservation efforts, making it the perfect place for this special event.
Honouring a Seven-Decade Legacy
The Forever Stamp, priced at 73 cents, features a stunning photo of Betty White taken in 2010. Like all Forever stamps, it will remain valid for mailing letters even if the price of postage goes up in the future.
This beautiful tribute recognises not only Betty’s legendary acting career but also her philanthropic work, especially her love and advocacy for animals.
Betty White captured hearts with her wit, humour, and grace. From her early days on television in her 20s to her late appearances in her 90s, Betty was truly a constant presence in American homes. She passed away four years ago, just before her 100th birthday, but her legacy remains strong.
A Life of Laughter and Love for Animals
Known for iconic roles on shows like The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Betty White wasn’t just a television legend—she was a lifelong animal lover. She used her fame to support wildlife conservation, pet adoption, and animal shelters across the country.
That’s why the LA Zoo, where she contributed so much of her time and heart, was the ideal venue for this meaningful unveiling.
A Stamp with Purpose
According to CNN, the USPS stamp program celebrates a wide range of individuals and subjects, including nature, culture, and history. Betty White’s inclusion is a testament to her broad influence—not just in entertainment, but in kindness, compassion, and the love of animals.
NPR also highlighted that the 2025 stamp collection aims to represent icons who made lasting cultural contributions, and Betty White fits that description perfectly.
