(TNND) — The U.S. Postal Service will be celebrating and
honoring beloved actress Betty White with a new forever
stamp bearing her likeness.

USPS said in a news release the stamp will commemorate
her "warmth, wit and charisma."

A forever stamp means it never expires and is equal to the
price of 1-ounce First-Class mail.

The actress was best known for roles in “The Golden Girls,
" “The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and “Boston Legal."

She died less than three weeks before her 100th birthday in
late December 2021.

The Postal Service announced it will host a special event on
March 27 to unveil the new stamp at the Los Angeles Zoo
and Botanical Gardens.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) began selling
Forever stamps on April 12, 2007. The first Forever
stamp featured the Liberty Bell.

Harriet Tubman became the first African American woman to
appear on a U.S. postage stamp, the first in the Post Office’s
Black Heritage Series. Tubman’s appearance on stamps was
emblematic both of the progress made in recognizing African

Americans’ contributions to American history and the ongoing
effort to put abolitionists on equal footing with slaveowners in
the nation’s historical canon.
