Remember the little curly-haired carrot top Chrissy on "Growing Pains"? Well, that's her in the above image, front and center, in a small but memorable role in the year's highest grossing film, "Marvel's The Avengers." Ashley Johnson, now 29 years old (she has since had a birthday since we first mentioned her brief appearance in the film) didn't feel like revisiting her past childhood stardom, but did tweet her appreciation when we took notice of her "Avengers" role: "Thanks Yahoo for the article! But I wouldn't quite call my role 'pivotal'. Haha."
