The 2012 Honorees in Stamps from the USPS: Classic Film Edition

I was delighted to learn there's a new Danny Thomas stamp specifically focusing on his founding of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

This year the U.S. Postal Service's new releases include a stamp featuring Jose Ferrer, an actor, musician, writer, director, and producer.

And there's a great new set of stamps honoring some of the greatest directors of the golden age of Hollywood.



Other honorees this year include singer Edith Piaf, jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, short story author O. Henry, and Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs. For a complete list of all 2012 stamps click here:

And I admit to going a little crazy at the post office a few weeks back and buying the lot -- directors, Ferrer, the works.
