Leopold Stokowski was a British-born, naturalized American orchestral conductor, well known for his free-hand performing style that spurned the traditional baton. Among other things he was also the conductor for Disney’s “Fantasia.” According to one source I read, he lived at the Garden of Allah, and often swam with his kids from his 3rd wife–Gloria Vanderbilt with whom he was married from 1945 to 1955–in the pool there.
