Do you recognize the conductor?
I’ll drop a hint in advance: the conductor was not a conductor. Nor was he known as an actor. But he was known for a long career in the arts.
Leave your guess(es) in the comments. If it seems appropriate to drop another hint, I’ll do so later this morning, before I cut the grass for the first time since August 17. (We’re in D2 territory: Severe Drought).

Another hint: think dance.

The grass is cut; the patches in the lawn are reseeded; and the answer’s now in the comments.

Oh! Well with the hint I'll bet it's George Balanchine.
Yes, in I Was an Adventuress (dir. Gregory Ratoff, 1940), which starred Vera Zorina (his then-wife).
Well done, Joe. Even with the hint, I had no idea.
i know his name but not his look. is it fair to say that my ballet teacher took one of his last offered seminars -- so is that one degree of separation? ; )
