Grace Kelly. In 1993, Princess Grace became the first U.S. actress to appear on a U.S. postage stamp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Kelly. Post last edited by gtho4 on Oct 08 2016.
Of course Hill's proposal was heavily debated for a few years, but after serious discussion the change was enacted and instituted in 1840. Thus on May 6, 1840 (first date of valid use) the first government-printed postage stamps were born. Sir Rowland Hill himself designed the first stamp which cost one penny and bore the profile of Queen Victoria. Because the stamp was printed in black, the 1-cent stamp soon became known as the Penny Black -- the world's most popular stamp. These first stamps were imperforate, meaning that people had to cut apart the sheets of stamps.
