Ten random things: August 1

Ten Augusts:

1. J. August Richards (American actor)
2. August, Calif. (census-designated place)
3. "August" (John Updike poem)
4. August (Eric Clapton album)
5. August Krogh (Danish Nobel Prize-winning physiologist)
6. Pernilla August (Swedish actress)
7. August (Anthony Hopkins movie)
8. Dan August (short-lived television series)
9. John August (American screenwriter)
10. Augustus Gloop (Golden Ticket winner)

I wasn't going to include Augustus Gloop, since he's an "Augustus," not an "August," but when I realized that John August wrote the screenplay for Tim Burton's Charlie and the CHocolate Factory, I knew I couldn't exclude him on a technicality.
