    I have absolutely no clue when to use 'por' or 'para' between two verbs

        Does "estrelar" have to be infinitive here? I put "estrelando"...

              when you have in English "preposition+gerund", in Portuguese you have "preposition+infinitive".

                Is "como atriz principal" acceptable

                Well, it does not appear in the sentence to be translated...

                não pode ser "ela está conhecida por estrelar em filmes independentes"?

                  We always use "ser conhecido(a)".
