The Huffington Post has the list, here. On it, Maxwell Perkins (pictured above).
From the piece...
Often called the most famous literary editor, Maxwell Perkins's resume speaks for itself. He was heavily involved in the development of the following: The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises, The Old Man And The Sea, Cry The Beloved Country, From Here To Eternity, Look Homeward, Angel, and Of Time And The River. Perkins was a close friend of Fitzgerald's (to whom he loaned money) and Hemingway dedicated The Old Man And The Sea to him.
And, while we're discussing Mr. Perkins, there might be a movie about his life with Sean Penn in the lead role. The Los Angeles Times has more about that possibility, here.
