How can I correct this sentence?
We respect Mary's desire for becoming famous.
The sentence above is ungrammatic, I guess. Become doesn't seem right here. What if I change it to 'being'?
and will it be right?

I think it is more natural, and makes more sense, to say, "We respect Mary's desire to be(come) famous."
