Betty White Forever First Class Postage Stamps

A digitally created portrait against a violet field, with lighter bubbles scattered behind her and a polka-dotted blue top - a set of choices clearly made to match the person rather than to be dignified. Her name runs in white near the bottom of the artwork and again across the top of the pane. Betty White worked in television from the late 1940s until shortly before her death at 99, which is a longer run than the medium has given almost anyone.

Panes of 20. It is a stamp that gets used rather than saved: birthday cards, notes to older relatives, mail to anyone who watched The Golden Girls in either its original run or one of its several afterlives. Animal charities use it too - she spent decades working for them, which is the part of the biography people who knew her mention first. Forever value, so it covers a one-ounce letter at whatever the rate is when you use it.
