    "Her brother is a famous actor" was not accepted.

      "well-known" and "famous" don't make a big difference

            Is "well" even neccessarry here? Can't I just say "known actor"?

              In my opinion, adding "well" definitely makes a difference. Saying simply "known actor" makes him sound like the subject of an investigation.

                Shouldn't "known actor" be accepted too?

                      Is there a reason the program prefers the word well-known to the word famous?

                        Would the word order "Брат её" ever be used in actual speech?
