The Postal Service issued a 32-cent Alfred Hitchcock commemorative stamp on August 3, 1998, in Los Angeles, California. This was an addition to the Legends of Hollywood Series. Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) was a British filmmaker and producer largely known for films of the suspense and thriller genres. On the stamp appears a laser cut profile of Hitchcock in the upper left corner. Designed by Richard Sheaff of Scottsdale, Arizona, the stamps were printed by Senett Security Products in the gravure process.
