The United States Post Office and Mattel teamed up to create ten stamps in honor of Barbie and her careers.
Ethel Kessler, an art director for USPS, went through over 250 of her professions to pick her Top 10. To capture her spirit of fun, he chose bright, energetic shades.
The forever stamps will be released on July 11, during the 2026 National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention in Austin, TX.
I rarely use stamps, but I am going to buy a book of these. I just wish they dedicated one to Ken.
Goldie Hawn won her first Oscar in 1970 for her big screen debut in 1969’s Cactus Flower. However, she was able to go to the ceremony. In fact, she told Jimmy Kimmel yesterday that she was sleeping when it happened and didn’t know she had won until she got a call from a publicist.
What??? The 2-time Oscar winner was in London filming There’s a Girl in My Soup, and back then, studios didn’t fly actors to Hollywood if they were nominated for an Academy Award.
Even though it has been 56 years since that fateful night, she had not seen that moment that cemented her acting career. She told Kimmel that, so he sent her the clip of Fred Astaire reading her name when she won Best Supporting Actress.
Yesterday, she shared with the host that Astaire was her idol, and that she had no idea until she watched it that he said her name during the telecast. And that made her cry.
While she didn’t know the legendary actor said her name, she revealed that he sent her a telegram congratulating her on her win. How amazing is that?
How amazing is all of that? It is like he won the Oscar three times. What was the second time? In 1981, she won Best Actress for the 1980 film Private Benjamin.

Before Peter Billingsley starred in A Christmas Story, which took place in the 1960s, he traveled back to the 1860s for Little House on the Prairie. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 1982 episode?
