Olgivanna Lloyd Wright (born Olga Ivanovna Lazović; December 27, 1898 – March 1, 1985) was the third and final wife of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, whom she met in November 1924. The two married in 1928, founded Wright’s architectural apprentice program, the Taliesin Fellowship, in 1932, and (with their son-in-law, William Wesley “Wes“ Peters), the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in 1940. Olgivanna became the President of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation upon her husband’s death in 1959 and remained president until a month before her own death in 1985 (when Peters became president of the Foundation).
