Hope Cooke wurde in San Francisco als Tochter eines irisch-amerikanischen Vaters, des Fluglehrers John J. Cooke und der Amateurpilotin Hope Noyes geboren. 1959 war Cooke ein Erstsemester mit dem Schwerpunkt Asienstudien am Sarah Lawrence College und teilte sich eine Wohnung mit der Schauspielerin Jane Alexander. Sie unternahm eine Sommerreise nach Indien und traf Palden Thondup Namgyal, Kronprinz von Sikkim, im Hotel in Darjeeling, Indien. Am 20. März 1963 heiratete Cooke Namgyal, der bald der letzte König von Sikkim wurde, in einem buddhistischen Kloster in einer Zeremonie, die von vierzehn Lamas durchgeführt wurde. Zu den Hochzeitsgästen zählten Mitglieder des indischen Königshauses, indische und sikkimesische Generäle sowie die USA. Botschafter in Indien, John Kenneth Galbraith. 1973 zerfiel sowohl das Land als auch ihre Ehe: Sikkim wurde von Indien annektiert. Fünf Monate nachdem die Übernahme von Sikkim begonnen hatte, kehrte Cooke in die Vereinigten Staaten zurück.
Alice S. Kandell is an American child psychologist, author, photographer and art collector interested in Himalayan culture. She worked extensively in the Indian state of Sikkim as a photographer, capturing approximately 15,000 color slides, as well as black-and-white photographs, between 1965 and 1979. She initially visited Sikkim in 1965 to attend the coronation ceremony of Hope Cooke, an American woman who married Palden Thondup Namgyal, King of Sikkim. At his request, she started a photograph project to illustrate how he and his wife favoured education and local businesses in Sikkim to benefit its culture. She is the author or co-author of two books, (with text by Charlotte Salisbury), and a book for children, called Sikkim: The Hidden Kingdom. Her private collection of Tibetan art was covered in A Shrine for Tibet: The Alice S. Kandell Collection of Tibetan Sacred Art, by Marylin Rhie and Robert Thurman, with photographs by John Bigelow Taylor. In 2011, she donated a collection of Tibetan art to the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian, and about 300 pictures to the Library of Congress.
