U.S. Postal Service celebrated the late actress Betty White on Thursday, March 27 in a ceremony at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens, unveiling a new Forever stamp with a portrait of the beloved TV and film entertainer that features her impish grin and playful eyes.

The chance to draw Betty White for a U.S. postage stamp was an easy “yes” for Boston-based illustrator Dale Stephanos.

Dale Stephanos said he thinks he was the right guy at the right time when he was approached by the post office to design the stamp.
