"She is known for starring in independent films."

Translation: Ela é conhecida por estrelar em filmes independentes.

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

I guess I should know by now not to believe the hints.

[RafaelNazar]

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

[Paulenrique]

We always use "ser conhecido(a)".

[anomalocaris]

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

[Dessamator]

Short answer: yes.

[anomalocaris]

So the gerund doesn't work? sigh Thanks.

[Paulenrique]

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

[LeslieWedd]

Is "como atriz principal" acceptable

[Matthias1414]

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

[waldyrious]

Shouldn't "protagonizar" be accepted as an alternative to "estrelar em"?

[Paulenrique]

I think it should be accepted also.
