One of our country’s most versatile and honored actors, José Ferrer is the 14th luminary celebrated in the U.S. Postal Service’s Distinguished Americans series. The stamp shows Ferrer at the height of his fame, his elegant and timeless look captured in an oil-on-canvas portrait.
Critics and peers alike lauded Ferrer as one of the most accomplished talents of his generation. Ferrer was not only a highly acclaimed actor, but also a director, writer, musician, and producer. During his long career he garnered many accolades that testified to the depth and quality of his work, including several Tony Awards for his achievements on stage. His film appearances resulted in three Academy Award nominations, including one for what is arguably his most famous role — the swashbuckling poet Cyrano de Bergerac — for which he won a Best Actor Oscar, the first for a Latino.
The original painting for the stamp art was created by Daniel Adel. Antonio Alcalá was the art director.
The José Ferrer stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.

The U.S. Postal Service® honors actor, director, writer, musician, and producer Jose Ferrer (1912–1992), with a stamp in its Distinguished Americans series. Considered one of the most versatile talents of his generation, Ferrer performed on stage and in more than 60 films. He won the first Tony Award for Best Actor — in 1947, the inaugural year for the awards — for playing poet Cyrano de Bergerac on Broadway; and for the 1950 film version, he won the Oscar for Best Actor, the first for a Latino. He remains one of the few actors to ever win both awards for playing the same character on stage and on film. The portrait featured on the stamp is an oil painting by Daniel Adel, based on a photograph of Ferrer. Verso text appears on the back of the stamp sheet. Art director Antonio Alcala designed the stamp.
