Anne Passovoy

(???? –)

Anne Passovoy is a Chicago-area fan and filker.

She was one of the founding members of the Dorsai Irregulars, and Robert Heinlein in part dedicated his 1982 novel Friday to Anne.

Along with her husband, Bob Passovoy, she was the Fan GoH at Chicon 2000.

The Passovoys were mainstays of the Midwest filk community during the ’70s and ’80s and were drafted as part of the entertainment while judging was going on at the MidAmeriCon masquerade.

Anne has written many seminal filk songs, including "Marcon Ballroom," and perhaps the most widely sung tune for Poul Anderson's poem, "Mary O'Meara."
