- Indra Tamang, originally a Nepalese immigrant and longtime housekeeper, inherited two luxurious apartments at The Dakota in New York City from his employer, Ruth Ford. Ruth Ford, an actress and socialite, developed a close bond with Tamang, who served her faithfully for years. Upon her death in 2009, she bequeathed her significant estate, including the prestigious apartments, to Tamang, a gesture that dramatically transformed his life. This unexpected inheritance drew public attention and highlighted the deep, personal connections that can form beyond traditional employer-employee relationships.

Interested in books about the architecture and history of the Dakota, Friar Park, and Tittenhurst Park? I've written a bunch about them. You can find all of them on Amazon and elsewhere. Buying my books helps support my research and productions. Thank you! tinyurl.com/DakotaHistoryCardinal
I cannot help but suspect the relationship between Charles Henry Ford and Indra Tamang was as much personal as professional. Tamang became effectively the life partner of Charles and brother-in-law to Ruth Ford.
If you wanna know what I think .... well .... ummm .... I can't really say. I wouldn't want Tamang's family to read this, but .... well .. it kinda sorta maybe seems like .... ummmm .... Oh, I don't really know. Know what I mean?
@@StrangeHistoryX Okay, so how would you explain that a cook/butler live-in got everything?
It is not clear how many years Tamang lived in with Charles, and then Ruth. But somehow he was able to marry his own woman and have his own children. Some people are very flexible....
I grew up in a time when homosexuality had to be hidden. Keeping a lover/life partner as an employee was just one subterfuge. Rock Hudson and his agent being another.
@@fredphilippi8388 That’s easy. Our spouses disappear. Adult children vaporize (after 5 years, one just sent me a letter of apology on TikTok. Yes, TikTok). The phone never rings. Who else is there?
Who cares! Either way he was a devoted friend.....nuf said. 😊
He was taken as a child and was prob groomed!
He was devoted to them and so it's great that they left their estate to him.
Yep. That's the truth.
Glad his years of service were rewarded by those he was faithful to!!
Temang was a trusted friend, servant, and caregiver to both Ford’s. He saw them at their best and cared for them at their worst. No wonder he was left everything. Of course, we don’t know the full story of Ruth and her daughter, but maybe there was a good reason she was cut from the estate…who knows?
I wonder if Shelley was her biological daughter or the daughter of Zachary Scott. Not that that should matter but look at the difference in treatment between Julian and Sea by Yoko Ono. It's night and day.
Great story 👍Some of the best families are not blood related. Happy ending, but I bet he misses them.
What a great story of dedication and reward of his service.
Now that is a great story!
Yep. It is really cool.
This is a totally heartwarming story. Thanks so much for the sensitive and intelligent presentation.
Why did Ruth disinherit her own children in the first place? Did the children disrespect their Parents? Did the Parents Disrespect their children? Were the children some form of criminals?
I'd have done the same thing. The daughter had all the benefits of the mother's wealth from birth. The butler/caretaker/friend was with her til her last.....she trusted, depended, and loved him, and wanted him and his family to be taken care of financially for the rest of his life. Often, our chosen family's bonds are stronger than our birth family's. Congratulations to him!
Now I know the whole story , thank you all for sharing this story with me!! It’s a great story to be told since I hadn’t heard about this before , very interesting !! Thank you all !!!
That story is endlessly fascinating. I assume Indra will watch it and be happy with how his story is portrayed. He seems like a nice fellow.
Those of us who live in Brookhaven, MS, know that Miss Ruth and Mr. Charles Henri were born in our town. Their father owned four hotels across our state and the brother and sister were raised in their father's property in Columbus, MS. Hazelhurst is best know as the birthplace of the great diva Lypsinka's alter ego, John Epperson.
One of my favorite buildings...
Entertaining and fun to watch & listen to. Your voice is enthusiastic,and I have adopted many, many cats. GOD BLESS YOU
I work with the elderly. They only remember the things people dont do.
You could show up 6 days a week for your parent and they will remember the 1 day you didnt and talk badly about you all week month long.
Its not their fault its all new to them and confusing.
Allowing this man to inherit everything is not real.
Everyone should figure out by 40 what way things are gonna be and not give their best things to the nicest person infront of them before they go to heaven
Well, he may have been the only person who treated them as human beings and not ATMs. His demeanor showed who he really was and it wasn’t a money grabbing greed-monger. He probably never, ever expected to be the heir and they knew it. Humility, respect, integrity, sincerity and loyalty go very far in these cases. I applaud their efforts as well as the spirituality to know you really can’t take it with you. Bless us all! 🙏🪷❤️

Thank you for sharing.😊
Many people of Wealth leave their estate to loyal and long devoted attendants. Why is this an exception ? Oh, of course . . . 🙄
Fascinating ❤
Id love to go to Ruths estate sale.
Strange dynamics and false fronts happening all around with both Ruth and her brother with the circle of friends and family.
Scott, I have all your books on the Dakota…the Ansonia too! 👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate that. Thanks for checking out my videos, too.
*Tamang no doubt learned the advantages of going both Upstairs **_and_** Downstairs.*
I see what you did that. I can't say whether or not I agree, but .... well ...
Strange History at the Dakota indeed seems more than random chance. Almost as if the land it was built upon has unseen forces or history of its own
A great caretaker

Asian people will just wait things out and they get everything! I wish I had that will power
SIMPLY🎉 "BEAUTIFUL" ✨💙🌏
creepy couple
wait..2 apartments in the Dakota aren't worth more than that alone?
I was surprised her apt didn't sell for $7.5 million. a $3 million hit was pretty bad. Not sure why. Beautiful apt.
I don't think I would enjoy living in that old toomb.
I shall be there in ten seconds!!
It is a dream to live there! ❤
Much better than those who leave their fortune to their dog.
A devoted member of staff, by all means remember him in your will. However, to leave a legacy at the cost of disinheriting a daughter and grandchildren is a bridge too far. Blood is after all thicker than water.
What happened to the saying you can choose your friends, but not your family? What about people who are kind but have no family? Are they to be dismissed in favour of some distant relative or entitled child just because they share a few genes? We're ALL related in the end: we all arose from the same mother.
The hell it is! 😂
He should not have kept so much, he should give back most to Fords family
More then likely Charles took him under his wing to groom him. Sadly it happened all the time. In the end Tamang was rewarded for his loyalty and service but usually the groomedchild was discarded and another taken. I'm not saying this to be rude but it is and was reality for a lot of foreign children.
